Filter by:This study aims to compare heart rate variation, cognitive load, and learning outcomes of novel image-based virtual reality with traditional video in learning for otolaryngology. Half of participants will receive image-based virtual reality learning, while the other half will receive video-based learning.
Cognitive Control is crucial for learning and development. This study examined the associations between cognitive control and physical fitness and body composition among ethnic minority children.
Neuroscience evidence suggests that physical exercise can influence brain function and structure, both immediately and in the long-term. The 'Fit to Study' project is a randomised controlled trial to test the effects on academic performance (as well as fitness, wellbeing and cognitive function) of a teacher-training intervention designed to optimise the content of PE for brain and cognitive function during secondary school (Year 8) Physical Education (PE) lessons. The project aims to rigorously test the impact of this intervention in 100 state-funded secondary schools.
Despite recommends that school-based interventions use a comprehensive approach for health promotions; most fitness programs exclusively emphasize physical activity. This study compared the comprehensive Translational Health in Nutrition and Kinesiology (THINK) program to a traditional YMCA program (The Sports, Play, and Active Recreation for Kids (SPARK) fitness curriculum) on measures of physical fitness, body composition, and executive cognitive function outcomes among 105 ethnic minority children (9±1.03 years old) following a 10-week intervention period.
The MoveMent project applies non-pharmacological strategies - physical exercise and cognitive training - that have been shown to be effective in promoting active and healthy aging. The objective is to study the molecular and neural mechanisms of these strategies to stimulate brain plasticity and improve brain health and cognitive functioning.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and feasibility of a battery of neuropsychological measures evaluating social cognition and behavior in young adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, or traumatic brain injury (TBI). It also investigates functional differences in regions of the brain associated with social cognition and differences in cognitive processing. Additionally, this study implements a virtual reality intervention to strengthen social cognition skills.
This randomized control trial will examine whether a 12 month monitored exercise intervention improves brain health in cognitively normal older adults. This trial will also address several important unanswered questions: (1) Are the recommended public health guidelines of 150 minutes/week of exercise sufficient for improving cognitive performance? (2) Does exercise influence brain structure and/or function? (3) Is there a dose-response effect of exercise on the above variables such that greater amounts of exercise brings about greater benefits in cognitive and brain health? (4) What are the mechanisms by which exercise influences brain health? and (5) What factors attenuate or magnify the effects of exercise on brain and cognitive health and contribute to the individual variability in intervention outcomes?
The investigators performed a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of water extract from wheat Triticum aestivum L on cognitive and memory function. The investigators measured changes in cognitive function parameters, including CNT, WMT, K-MMSE, BCRS, PRMQ, PSS, SF-36 and BDNF
33 individuals with a psychotic disorder were given 22-24 sessions weekly or twice weekly of Social Cognition and Interaction Training (SCIT) and evaluated at the baseline and after the intervention. Main outcome was improvement in social cognition according to specific measures of facial emotion identification, Theory of Mind, attributional bias, social cognitive accuracy and metacognitive overconfidence.
Modern society increasingly seeks healthy life style, and regular physical activity is considered one of the main factors that improve the quality of life. The evidence shows that the aerobic physical training in controlled environments benefit various aspects of human health, including cognition in the elderly population. However, when exercise is performed in a polluted environment, the individual is subjected to grater exposure to pollutants due to increased ventilation (breathing).
