BACKGROUND/AIMS: It has been shown that cognitive training might help to protect against age-related cognitive decline. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of a computerized cognitive training application and its near transfer effects on the cognitive status of older adults.
Performance on the 7-Minute Screen at baseline and at the end of the program was analyzed by using a pre-post design. Adults aged 55 and older (n = 101; mean age ± standard deviation: 68.97 ± 5.81 years) with and without memory impairments were trained.
Significant improvements after the training program were found in memory, visuo-spatial and verbal fluency abilities, regardless of age, gender or education. Moreover, participants without significant memory impairments and those with Age-Associated Memory Impairment gained from the program more than subjects with mild cognitive impairment.
Computerized cognitive training programs, such as Telecognitio®, may be used as a practical and valuable tool in clinic to improve cognitive status.
背景/目的：认知训练有助于预防与年龄相关的认知能力下降已得到证实。我们的目的是评估一款计算机认知训练应用的效果及其对老年人认知状态的近迁移效应。
采用前后设计，分析基线和计划结束时 7 分钟屏幕测试的表现。接受培训的成年人年龄在 55 岁及以上（n=101；平均年龄±标准差：68.97±5.81 岁），无论是否有记忆障碍。
无论年龄、性别或教育程度如何，记忆、视空间和语言流畅性能力在训练后均有显著提高。此外，无明显记忆障碍的参与者和与年龄相关的记忆障碍参与者比轻度认知障碍患者从该计划中获益更多。
Telecognitio®等计算机认知训练计划可作为临床中改善认知状态的实用且有价值的工具。
