To investigate this, 240 adults were randomly assigned to an N-back training task that consisted of visual-only stimuli, alternating visual and auditory blocks, or audio-visual (multisensory) stimuli, or to a passive control group. Participants in the active groups completed 13 sessions of N-back training (6.7 hours in total) and all groups completed a battery of WM tasks: untrained N-back tasks, Corsi Blocks, Sequencing, and Symmetry Span. The Multisensory group showed similar training N-level gain compared to the Visual Only group, and both of these groups outperformed the Alternating group on the training task. As expected, all three active groups significantly improved on untrained visual N-back tasks compared to the Control group. In contrast, the Multisensory group showed significantly greater gains on the Symmetry Span task and to a certain extent on the Sequencing task compared to other groups. These results tentatively suggest that incorporating multisensory objects in a WM training protocol can benefit performance on the training task and potentially facilitate transfer to complex WM span tasks.</p>","PeriodicalId":73678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cognitive enhancement : towards the integration of theory and practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8415034/pdf/nihms-1650289.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39387155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In exploring intervention effectiveness, however, researchers have often overlooked a potentially important factor: willingness to engage. Recent findings from Harrell, Kmetz, Boot (2019) showed that perceived cognitive deficits and perceived training efficacy were significant predictors of willingness to engage in a brain training intervention designed to preserve cognition. However, they did not explore another potentially important factor: anticipated intervention enjoyment. In the current study, younger, middle-aged, and older adults (<i>N</i> = 169) completed surveys that assessed their willingness to engage in different types of training (aerobic exercise, brain, meditation) to improve cognition and the extent that factors such as health, perceived cognitive deficits, belief in training efficacy, and personality contributed to willingness to engage. Participants reported being least willing to engage in meditation training and meditation training was rated by participants as the least likely to improve cognition. Anticipated training enjoyment was the overriding factor that predicted willingness. These findings provide additional insights into why, and for how long, individuals may be willing to engage in training to prolong independence and have implications for understanding intervention adoption and adherence.</p>","PeriodicalId":73678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cognitive enhancement : towards the integration of theory and practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s41465-020-00197-x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39387154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
