Findings that the brain is capable of plasticity up until old age have led to interest in the use of cognitive training as a potential intervention to delay the onset of dementia. However, individuals participating in training regimens differ greatly with respect to their outcomes, demonstrating the importance of considering individual differences, in particular age and baseline performance in a cognitive domain, when evaluating the effectiveness of cognitive training. In this review, we summarized existing literature on cognitive training in adults across several cognitive domains to contrast the conditions supporting the magnification and compensation effects of cognitive training improvement. The strongest support for the magnification effect was observed in studies involving younger adults with more intact cognitive abilities in training tasks targeting episodic memory, explained in part by factors specific to episodic memory training. By contrast, support for the compensation effect was found in several studies targeting working memory in older individuals as well as in the majority of studies targeting executive functioning, suggesting the preservation of neural plasticity in these domains to very old age. Future research should more clearly stratify individuals according to their baseline cognitive abilities and assign specialized, skill-specific cognitive training regimens in order to directly answer the question of how individual differences impact training effectiveness.
