The second edition of this book brings together a cutting edge
international team of contributors to critically review the current
knowledge regarding the effectiveness of training interventions
designed to improve cognitive functions in different target
populations. Since the publication of the first volume, the field
of cognitive research has rapidly evolved. There is substantial
evidence that cognitive and physical training can improve cognitive
performance, but these benefits seem to vary as a function of the
type and the intensity of interventions and the way
training-induced gains are measured and analyzed. This book will
address the new topics in psychological research and aims to
resolve some of the currently debated issues. This book offers a
comprehensive overview of empirical findings and methodological
approaches of cognitive training research in different cognitive
domains (memory, executive functions, etc.), types of training
(working memory training, video game training, physical training,
etc.), age groups (from children to young and older adults), target
populations (children with developmental disorders, aging workers,
MCI patients etc.), settings (laboratory-based studies, applied
studies in clinical and educational settings), and methodological
approaches (behavioral studies, neuroscientific studies). Chapters
feature theoretical models that describe the mechanisms underlying
training-induced cognitive and neural changes. Cognitive Training:
An Overview of Features and Applications, Second Edition will be of
interest to researchers, practitioners, students, and professors in
the fields of psychology and neuroscience.

substantial evidence that cognitive and physical training can
improve cognitive performance, but these benefits seem to vary as a
function of the type and the intensity of interventions and the way
training-induced gains are measured and analyzed. This book further
fulfills the need for clarification of the mechanisms underlying
cognitive and neural changes occurring after training. This book
offers a comprehensive overview of empirical findings and
methodological approaches of cognitive training research in
different cognitive domains (memory, executive functions, etc.),
types of training (working memory training, video game training,
physical training, etc.), age groups (from children to young and
older adults), target populations (children with developmental
disorders, aging workers, MCI patients etc.), settings
(laboratory-based studies, applied studies in clinical and
