“…Regardless, these methods hold great promise for enhancement of declining cognitive function in older adults. One area of emerging investigation is that of home-based cognitive training using gamified platforms (Edwards, Valdes, Peronto, Castora-Binkley, Alwerdt, Andel, and Lister 2015), which shows evidence of enhancing targeted cognitive functions and transferring to IADLs like driving (Ross, Edwards, O'Connor, Ball, Wadley, and Vance 2015). Such findings more broadly support the concept of deploying home based interventions, especially in computer-assisted and gamified forms.…”

The concept of ‘Successful Aging’ has long intrigued the scientific community. Despite this long-standing interest, a consensus definition has proven to be a difficult task, due to the inherent challenge involved in defining such a complex, multi-dimensional phenomenon. The lack of a clear set of defining characteristics for the construct of successful aging has made comparison of findings across studies difficult and has limited advances in aging research. The domain in which consensus on markers of successful aging is furthest developed is the domain of physical functioning. For example, walking speed appears to be an excellent surrogate marker of overall health and predicts the maintenance of physical independence, a cornerstone of successful aging. The purpose of the present article is to provide an overview and discussion of specific health conditions, behavioral factors, and biological mechanisms that mark declining mobility and physical function and promising interventions to counter these effects. With life expectancy continuing to increase in the United States and developed countries throughout the world, there is an increasing public health focus on the maintenance of physical independence among all older adults.

“…VSOP training primarily addresses visual processing speed and attention, which support most higher‐order cognitive functions and predict aMCI incidence and progression to AD . A few weeks of VSOP training has been shown to improve multiple cognitive domains and everyday function in individuals with normal aging, the human immunodeficiency virus, and Parkinson's disease . Moreover, individuals with lower baseline cognition are able to experience greater cognitive benefits from training .…”

Background/Objectives Vision-based speed of processing (VSOP) training is a promising cognitive intervention for older adults. However, it is unknown whether VSOP training can affect cognitive processing in individuals at high risk for dementia. Here, we examined cognitive and neural effects of VSOP training in older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and contrasted those effects with an active control (mental leisure activities; MLA). Design A randomized single-blinded controlled pilot trial. Setting An academic medical center. Participants Twenty-one participants with aMCI. Intervention A 6-week computerized VSOP training. Measurements Multiple cognitive processing measures, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and two key resting state neural networks regulating cognitive processing: central executive network (CEN) and default mode network (DMN). Results We found that, compared to MLA control, VSOP training led to significant improvements in trained (processing speed and attention: F1,19 = 6.61, Partial η2 = 0.26, p = .019) and untrained cognitive domains (working memory: F1,19 = 7.33, Partial η2 = 0.28, p = .014; IADL: F1,19 = 5.16, Partial η2 = 0.21, p = .035), and protective maintenance in DMN (F1, 9 = 14.63, Partial η2 = 0.62, p = .004). Additionally, VSOP training, but not MLA, resulted in a significant improvement in CEN connectivity (Z = −2.37, p = .018). Conclusion We identified both target and transfer effects of VSOP training and revealed links between VSOP training and two key neural networks associated with aMCI. These findings highlight the potential of VSOP training to slow cognitive decline in aMCI. Further delineation of mechanisms underlying VSOP-induced plasticity is necessary to understand in what populations and conditions such training may be most effective.

“…43 Furthermore, we chose this criterion because Edwards et al found that an average of 15 h of process-based cognitive training was effective for enhancing cognition. 44 However, there is a clear doseeresponse relationship with process-based cognitive training, so more training should result in better outcomes. 45 Therefore, the criterion of completing 18 h of training was chosen as the outcome to demonstrate feasibility.…”

“…Furthermore, we expected at least 75% of the participants randomized to ACT to complete at least 18 training hours in order to indicate feasibility. 34,44 Given that 78% of those randomized to ACT completed 18 h or more of cognitive training at home, on their own, the ACT is potentially feasible in this population.…”

“…Prior study and recent work in our lab has indicated that 15 h of process-based training may be needed to obtain immediate transfer of training to functional outcomes. 33,44 A recent meta-analysis indicates that at least 10 h of cognitive training are needed to receive benefit. 65 Thus, ACT is considered potentially feasible in the HF population.…”
