A linear relationship exists between cognition and DTC in older adults with varying cognitive levels. The strength of this relationship is greater for more challenging tasks. We also suggest that patients with CI may be able to engage in more challenging tasks than might be assumed. The impact of task difficulty has implications in the design of future studies of DT training for individuals both with and without CI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
