ABSTRACT

Cognitive training is an important non-pharmaceutical intervention for older adults with cognitive impairment.It can improve cognitive function and life skills through training in different cognitive domains.Here we review the previous research on different types of cognitive training, examine the effect of cognitive training on cognitive improvement in older adults with cognitive impairment, and analyze the underlying neural mechanisms.In addition, we also identify deficiencies in the designs of previous research and propose how research protocols and training efficacy can be improved in the future.
