Education, occupation, and an active lifestyle, comprising enhanced social, physical, and mental components are associated with improved cognitive functions in aged people and may delay the progression of various neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease. To investigate this protective effect, 3-month-old APP

Describing Functional Brain Connectivity's Role In The Relationship Of Multimodal Interventions To Improve Cognitive And Physical Function In Vulnerable (Frailty & Mild Cognitive Impairment) Older Adults., Nicholas (Nick) W. Bray
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Aging is associated with declining cognitive and physical function. The decline accelerates in older adults diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a pre-dementia state, and frailty, a state of decreased physiological reserve. Previous work shows that frailty modifies the relationship between dementia pathology and clinical symptoms. Functional brain network connectivity (FBNC) refers to brain areas that are anatomically separate but temporally related in their neural signaling; it is believed to enable the completion of complex cognitive and physical functions. FBNC is considered a sensitive biomarker for monitoring the progression of dementia syndromes and investigating the efficacy of interventional strategies. Therefore, …
Video Game Interventions To Improve Cognition In Older Adults, David E. C. Marra
Video Game Interventions To Improve Cognition In Older Adults, David E. C. Marra
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Cognitive abilities decline as part of the normal aging process. Various non-pharmacological interventions are being studied in an effort to ameliorate this cognitive decline. Some of these interventions include computerized cognitive training, such as neuropsychological software (i.e., brain training games) and video games. A previous study in our lab found that older adults who played a brain training game or a video poker game showed similar cognitive gains. The purpose of the present study was to follow the methodological procedures of our previous study to try and determine if the positive effects seen for the brain training program and video …
