报告了一项在轻度认知障碍（MCI）老年人中进行计算机化认知训练的试点随机对照试验的结果。参与者（N = 25）被随机分配到治疗组或等待培训组。16名参与者完成了30次计算机化认知训练计划，使用针对一系列认知功能的练习，包括注意力，处理速度，视觉记忆和执行功能。据推测，参与者将提高与实践的训练任务，培训的好处将概括为未经培训的神经心理学措施，培训将导致改善记忆和记忆功能的看法相比，候补名单控制。结果表明，参与者能够通过培训提高他们在一系列任务中的表现。有一些证据表明，培训的泛化，以衡量视觉持续的注意力。训练对自我报告的日常记忆功能或情绪没有显着影响。结果进行了讨论沿着与建议，为今后的研究。
The results of a pilot randomised controlled trial of computerised cognitive training in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are reported. Participants (N = 25) were randomised into either the treatment or waitlist training groups. Sixteen participants completed the 30-session computerised cognitive training program using exercises that target a range of cognitive functions including attention, processing speed, visual memory and executive functions. It was hypothesised that participants would improve with practice on the trained tasks, that the benefits of training would generalise to nontrained neuropsychological measures, and that training would result in improved perceptions of memory and memory functioning when compared with waitlist controls. Results indicated that participants were able to improve their performance across a range of tasks with training. There was some evidence of generalisation of training to a measure of visual sustained attention. There were no significant effects of training on selfreported everyday memory functioning or mood. The results are discussed along with suggestions for future research.
