RESUMEN
Current studies have found that cognitive training has a significant effect on the improvement of training task performance in the elderly, but the training effects are difficult to transfer to untrained cognitive tasks.Recent studies have found that adaptive cognitive training can obtain better transfer effects.This article focuses on the transfer and maintenance effects of adaptive cognitive training; reviews recent research on brain mechanisms related to adaptive cognitive training; analyzes existing problems in the field, and proposes further studies to explore ways for effective implementation of adaptive cognitive training with continuously challenging tasks and to elucidate the cognitive and neural mechanisms related to the transfer effects.
