Teaching an old brain new tricks: optimising cognitive training through neuroplasticity

早期痴呆症患者从旨在延缓恶化的大脑训练计划中获益最多。然而，它的力量没有得到充分的认识，改善并没有普遍应用到日常生活中。这项研究计划将利用神经可塑性的力量来优化大脑训练，使其效果转移到日常生活中。所获得的知识将改变我们设计和提供大脑训练计划的方式，并彻底改变我们对人们为什么和如何反应的理解。

People with early dementia have the most to gain from brain training programs aimed at delaying deterioration. Yet, its power is under-realised, with improvements not generalising to everyday living. This research program will harness the power of neuroplasticity to optimise brain training so that the effects transfer to everyday life. The knowledge gained will transform the way that we design and deliver brain training programs and revolutionise our understanding of why and how people respond.
