Does computerised cognitive training maintain global cognitive function in cognitively healthy people in midlife?
There is currently insufficient evidence to determine if computerised cognitive training helps maintain cognitive function in healthy midlife adults.
We found low-quality evidence from only one study. We are unable to determine whether computerised cognitive training is effective in maintaining global cognitive function among healthy adults in midlife. We strongly recommend that high-quality studies be undertaken to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of cognitive training in midlife, using interventions that last long enough that they may have enduring effects on cognitive and brain reserve, and with investigators following up long enough to assess effects on clinically important outcomes in later life.
Gates et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
