Cognitively Stimulating Activities for Successful Aging: Searching for New Pathways

在三个半月的时间里（2019年5月- 2019年9月15日），我们完成了之前提交的几篇论文（见第10部分）。第一篇论文（Sala et al., 2019; Plos One）是一个关于参与休闲活动与成功衰老（保持健康、认知功能和身体功能）之间关系的结构方程模型（SEM）。参与休闲活动似乎是成功老龄化的合理预测指标。第二篇论文（Sala, Aksayli, et al., 2019）是一项关于WM训练对老年人认知功能影响的荟萃分析。这种训练计划的积极效果似乎微不足道，几乎为零，特别是在那些实施认知要求高的对照组活动来控制安慰剂效应的研究中。第三篇（Sala, Tatlidil, and Gobet, 2019）是关于运动（认知训练+体育活动）对老年人认知技能的影响。同样，没有观察到游戏项目的显著效果。此外，我们为Igo玩家项目收集了更多的数据（当前总受试者=100）。

In the three and a half months (May 2019 - September the 15th, 2019), we finalized several papers that had been submitted previously (see Section 10). The first paper (Sala et al., 2019; Plos One) was a structural equation model (SEM) about the relationship between engagement in leisure activities and successful aging (preserved wellbeing, cognitive function, and physical function). Engagemnt in leisure activities appeared to be a fair predictor of successful aging. The second paper (Sala, Aksayli, et al., 2019) was a meta-analysis on the impact of WM training on older adults’ cognitive function. The positive effect of this training programme seemed to be slim to null, especially in those studies that implemented a cogntively demanding control-group activity to control for placebo effects. The third (Sala, Tatlidil, and Gobet, 2019), was about the effects of exergames (cognitive training + physical activiy) on older adults’ cognitive skills. Again, no compelling effect of exergame programmes was observed. Also, we collected more data for the Igo players project (current total subjects=100).
