A computer-based cognitive training program focused on speed of processing — reinforced with periodic booster sessions — reduced the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRDs) by 25% ...

A simple brain-training program that sharpens how quickly older adults process visual information may have a surprisingly powerful long-term payoff. In a major 20-year study of adults 65 and older, ...

A recent article in the New York Times by neuroscientist Daniel Levitin, “Everyone Knows Memory Fails as You Age. But Everyone is Wrong,” argues that memory difficulties are quite common and do not ...

Adults age 65 and older who completed five to six weeks of cognitive speed training—in this case, speed of processing training, which helps people quickly find visual information on a computer screen ...

A 20-year follow-up of the NIH-funded ACTIVE trial found that older adults who completed visual speed-of-processing training, especially with booster sessions, had a 25% lower risk of dementia than ...

A new neuroimaging study from NYU researchers has found that speed-of-processing brain exercises can be used to help rebuild the white matter in brains scarred by traumatic brain injury. Journal of ...

A landmark 20-year analysis of the ACTIVE trial suggests that targeted, reinforced speed-based cognitive training may delay dementia diagnosis, offering new insight into how structured mental ...
