- How do you target cognitive training? Bridging the gap between standard and technological rehabilitation of cognitive domains (2024) · Frontiers in Psychology · cited 10× · doi
The gap in the current research is the lack of clear guidelines on the duration and frequency of cognitive training. There is heterogeneity in the duration and frequency of cognitive training, ranging from 4 to 26 weeks, and from two to three times per week for <1 h. The paper identifies the need for further research to address the central issue of differences in therapeutic outcomes between traditional rehabilitation practices and those integrating new technologies.

The paper identifies the challenge of standardizing frequency and duration of treatment in cognitive training. It highlights the need for individualized treatment plans that are tailored to each patient's unique requirements. The paper also discusses the challenge of addressing the central issue of differences in therapeutic outcomes between traditional rehabilitation practices and those integrating new technologies.

Future research should replicate these findings through large-scale randomized controlled trials with more diverse participant groups to improve generalizability and confirm the robustness of the training effects. Expanding the participant pool will help identify broader applicability and strengthen the external validity of digital cognitive interventions. In addition, in future studies, participants should be stratified by cognitive impairment level, or tailored training modules should be applied to determine which subgroups benefit most, advancing precision-based cognitive rehabilitation for MCI. Finally, integrating adaptive algorithms that adjust task difficulty in real time based on eye-tracking performance may further enhance training efficiency and engagement by maintaining optimal challenge levels and reducing fatigue.

This study has several limitations. First, the relatively small sample size restricts the generalizability of the results. Second, the absence 98 doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EFAYV72 www.fizjoterapiapolska.pl the experimental group of followup assessments prevented evaluation of the longterm sustainability of the intervention effects. In addition, the use of only a single cognitive task (e.g., subtraction) in the cognitive assessment limited the ability to determine the transfer effects of dualtask training on different cognitive domains. Finally, the intensive rehabilitation program administered to the control group may have reduced the visibility of the additional effects of dual task training.
