Effect of MCFT on attention
cognitive impairment
Physiological changes caused by aging increase the time older adults require to process information and react to their environment. Low attention levels in patients with mild cognitive impairment can lead to a loss of the ability to perform activities of daily living. Thus, cognitive training may help mitigate the negative effects of aging on attention. Game-based intelligence tests have demonstrated to increase neuroplasticity and older adults’ interest in learning. The participants in the multi-domain cognitive function training group exhibited improvements in selective attention but no significant improvement was observed for visual-spatial and divided attention. Clinicians should be aware that these results are inconsistent with those of Yang et al. [
