This study compares two types of balance training (one where you stand still and one where you stand while doing a task) for older adults with mild to moderate thinking or memory problems. It aims to see which training is better for improving balance and daily function.
This study compares different types of memory and thinking exercises in younger and older healthy adults. It tests whether a specific computer-based training program can improve mental abilities like attention and problem-solving.
This study tests ways to improve how people perceive space in sound and understand speech when many voices are talking at once. It may help adults with normal hearing or hearing loss better follow conversations in noisy, “overlapping voices” situations.
This study looks at how difficulty reading might change how people make judgments and decisions. You may be asked to complete reading and thinking tasks, and the researchers compare results by reading performance.
This study looks at how well the brain works in people with obesity. It compares those who score high on a cognitive test with those who score lower, to find differences in thinking skills.
This study compares two training methods that may improve balance and daily function in older adults: doing thinking tasks while moving (dual task training) and learning through watching movements (action observation therapy). It aims to see which method is more helpful for people over 65.
