国家卫生研究所资助的一项研究显示,参加过处理速度培训的老年人在20年后患痴呆症的风险降低25%。 Older adults who did speed-of-processing training had 25% lower dementia risk after 20 years, per a NIH-funded study.

由NIH资助的一项研究的一项为期20年的后续研究发现,完成处理速度培训的老年人,特别是助推师,患痴呆的风险低25%,40%被诊断出,而控制组为49%。 A 20-year follow-up of a NIH-funded study found that older adults who completed speed-of-processing training—especially with booster sessions—had a 25% lower risk of dementia, with 40% diagnosed compared to 49% in the control group. 培训涉及适应性计算机练习,如游戏双重决定,重点是改进视觉处理和关注。 The training, involving adaptive computer exercises like the game Double Decision, focused on improving visual processing and attention. 只有这项干预措施显示,在20多年的时间里,痴呆症风险,包括阿尔茨海默氏病和其他类型的痴呆症风险显著、持久地减少。 Only this intervention showed a significant, lasting reduction in dementia risk, including Alzheimer’s and other types, over two decades. 研究人员认为,隐性学习可能带来好处,它涉及与记忆或推理培训不同的大脑路径。 Researchers suggest the benefit may stem from implicit learning, which engages different brain pathways than memory or reasoning training. 根据近2 000名参与者的《医疗保健计划》数据得出的研究结果,提供了有力证据,证明简短、一致的认知培训可以推迟痴呆症发作并减轻长期保健负担。 The findings, based on Medicare data from nearly 2,000 participants, offer strong evidence that brief, consistent cognitive training could delay dementia onset and reduce long-term healthcare burdens.
