IMPACT: First Major Study of a Commercially Available Brain- Plasticity Based Program For Older Adults/Active Control group/Transfer Measures 3 sites year old participants randomized to experimental and control conditions 40 hours of experience in one hour sessions Posit Science Brain Fitness auditory program or educational DVDs 3 month follow up Smith, G.

Example training: High or Low? Demo at

Experimental Training Program: 6 adaptive computerized auditory training exercises High or Low? Direction & order of frequency sweeps Tell Us Apart: Phoneme Recognition Sound Replay: Phoneme recognition span Match It! “Concentration” with phonemes Listen and Do: Following instructions Story Teller: Recognition of story “facts” Demo at

Findings: Improvement for the Brain Fitness Group Transfer to list recall Transfer to working memory recall Improved subjective cognition Improvement in all subgroups of participants Benefits retained at the 3 month follow up Wechsler Memory Scale Working Memory Pre Post Pre Post Experimental Control Pre Post Pre Post Experimental Control Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test List Recall Zelinski, et al., (under review). Evaluating the relationship between change in performance on training tasks and untrained outcomes.

Principles of IMPACT’s Brain Plasticity Training that Work Consistently across Studies  Extended practice  Challenging practice  Adaptive approach  Multimodal training: Speed + working memory training + complex material  Passive activities like watching educational materials on DVDs/TV are not associated with the same improvements

Who does the training work for?  Healthy, motivated adults with normal levels of cognitive functioning  People aged  Slightly greater gains for  Young-old participants  Women  People with more years of formal education Zelinski, et al., (under review). Evaluating the relationship between change in performance on training tasks and untrained outcomes.

Caveat Emptor What to look for – Scientific advisory board? – Clinical Trial with the specific product? – Transfer to untrained tasks? – Research with people in your target group? – Results published? – Did you try it? Would you use it 5 days a week indefinitely?
