Given the increasing prevalence and public health impact of dementia, it is imperative that we identify prevention strategies. One approach, broadly termed brain training, can be defined as guided drill-and-practice mental exercises targeting cognitive domains. We have evidence suggesting that brain training may prevent dementia in cognitively intact adults, including the well-validated protective effect of education early in life and the results of the ACTIVE (Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly) trial, 1 which showed not only a long-term cognitive benefit of training in processing speed, but also a possible decrease in dementia incidence and transfer of cognitive benefits to performance in everyday functioning (as measured by performance on instrumental activities of daily living). |
