Evaluation of a multidimensional cognitive training program for healthy older adults

Interest in cognitive training aimed at slowing or countering normal age-related cognitive decline has been growing in both popular culture and in aging research. While it has been demonstrated that older adults can improve performance in trained tasks, it remains unclear as to whether the effects of training can generalize to more distal cognitive domains and if they can be maintained longer-term. Previous investigations have been hindered by methodological shortfalls. The present study aimed to evaluate long-term effects of a cognitive training program on a range of cognitive domains, subjective memory and quality of life in healthy, community dwelling older adults
