与年龄相关的认知能力下降会带来巨大的经济、社会和健康成本。预防或减缓认知能力下降和鼓励积极老龄化的干预措施有可能产生重大的社会效益，并且是一项快速增长的事业。目前，很少有人知道个体差异因素如何影响坚持培训制度和培训成果。本研究的目的是确定人格和元认知的信念，预测个人的坚持定期训练制度和可能性，他们停止训练。831名来自商业大脑训练计划注册用户的老年澳大利亚人的样本进行了一系列人格和非认知测量，具体包括：认知需求，智力的内隐理论，掌握信念，记忆自我概念和五大人格因素。在18个月的时间里，对参与者的培训频率和表现进行了跟踪。结果表明，在现有的大脑训练者的样本中，对经验的开放性，对认知的需求和年龄预测了训练的中断。此外，回归分析表明，开放性的经验，内隐理论的智力，和年龄影响游戏性能。这些发现对有效设计和应用认知训练的启示。积极的老龄化。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Age related cognitive decline comes at a significant economic, social, and health cost. Interventions that prevent or slow cognitive decline and encourage positive ageing have potential to produce significant societal benefits and are a rapidly growing enterprise. Currently little is known about how individual difference factors influence adherence to the training regimes and training outcomes. The aim of the present study was to identify the personality and metacognitive beliefs that predict individuals' adherence to a regular training regime and the likelihood that they discontinue training. A sample of 831 older Australians drawn from registered users of a commercial brain training program, performed a range of personality and non-cognitive measures, specifically: need for cognition, implicit theories of intelligence, mastery beliefs, memory self-concept, and big-5 personality factors. The training frequency and performance of participants was tracked over an 18-month period. The results suggest that, within a sample of existing brain trainers, openness to experience, need for cognition, and age predicted training discontinuation. Furthermore, a regression analysis indicated that openness to experience, implicit theories of intelligence, and age influenced game performance. Implications of such findings for the effective design and application of cognitive training for encouraging. positive ageing are discussed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
