Sinopsis

The second edition of this book brings together a cutting edge international team of contributors to critically review the current knowledge regarding the effectiveness of training interventions designed to improve cognitive functions in different target populations. Since the publication of the first volume, the field of cognitive research has rapidly evolved. There is substantial evidence that cognitive and physical training can improve cognitive performance, but these benefits seem to vary as a function of the type and the intensity of interventions and the way training-induced gains are measured and analyzed. This book will address the new topics in psychological research and aims to resolve some of the currently debated issues. 


This book offers a comprehensive overview of empirical findings and methodological approaches of cognitive training research in different cognitive domains (memory, executive functions, etc.), types of training (working memory training, video game training, physical training, etc.), age groups (from children to young and older adults), target populations (children with developmental disorders, aging workers, MCI patients etc.), settings (laboratory-based studies, applied studies in clinical and educational settings), and methodological approaches (behavioral studies, neuroscientific studies). Chapters feature theoretical models that describe the mechanisms underlying training-induced cognitive and neural changes.

Cognitive Training: An Overview of Features and Applications, Second Edition will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, students, and professors in the fields of psychology and neuroscience.

Acerca del autor

Tilo Strobach finished his doctoral degree at Humboldt University of Berlin. After that, he held postdoc positions at this university and at Ludwig Maximilians University Munich. Currently, Tilo Strobach is full professor for cognitive psychology at the Medical School Hamburg. His research focuses on the analysis of cognitive plasticity as a result of training (e.g., video-game, dual-task, working memory, and task-switching training) and cognitive aging. Furthermore, he aims at specifying the cognitive processing architecture in situations that demand executive functions as well as the perception of complex objects.
Julia Karbach completed her PhD on the lifespan plasticity of cognitive development in 2008. She held positions at Saarland University and at Goethe-University Frankfurt. Since 2017, she serves as full professor for Developmental and Educational Psychology at the University of Koblenz-Landau. Her research focuses on neurocognitive development and plasticity across the lifespan. She currently investigates individual differences in executive control training (working memory, inhibition, flexibility) and physical training across a wide range of ages and populations (children, older adults, patients with cognitive impairments).
