INTERVENTION COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS FOR ADULT COGNITIVE TRAINING (ICE-ACT) (CLINICALTRIALS#:NCT03141281)

ABSTRACT: Abstract Age-related perceptual and cognitive declines are associated with difficulties performing everyday tasks required to remain independent. Encouraging improvements in cognitive abilities have been shown for various short-term interventions (e.g., the ACTIVE trial, digital games, aerobic exercise) but there is little evidence for direct impact on independence. This project compared the effect of broad and directed (narrow) technology-based training on basic perceptual and cognitive abilities in older adults and on the performance of simulated tasks of daily living including driving and fraud avoidance. Participants (N = 230, Mean age = 72) were randomly assigned to four training conditions: broad training using either 1) a web-based brain game or 2) the video game, or to directed tra
