Description
Summary:Major protective interventions evaluated are memory training programs, executive semantic processing of words, foreign-language learning, behavioral cognitive training, attention, mindfulness and transcendental meditation, transcranial direct current stimulation, neurofeedback, physical activity-aerobic exercise, dancing, and diet. Cognition Defined ✓ Cognition is the study of mental processes of acquiring knowledge and understanding, enabling critical thinking, problem solving, language, creativity, social intelligence, and mastering fundamental concepts like the mere idea of number, time, quantity, causality, and justice (Piaget and Inhelder, 1947; Chomsky, 1964; Hauser et al., 2002; Piaget, 2009; Mattson, 2019). ✓ Psychological testing (psychometrics) evaluates human abilities, attitudes, traits, and learning evolution based on standards of objectivity, reliability, and validity (Piaget and Inhelder, 1947; Piaget, 2009). [...]mental training, meditation or virtual reality (films, games) require only minimal motor activity and cardio-respiratory stimulation. [...]other potential paths [sBrain yes eBrain] molding brain networks are nonetheless essential. Practical details on how to implement the various types of training programs evaluated by the authors such as mental, [sBrain yes eBrain] (memory, attention, mindfulness, neurofeedback, etc.) and cardiorespiratory-physical exercise, [aCRM yes eBrain] (aerobic, dancing, etc.) may be found elsewhere in books, websites, institutions, or training centers.
