Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q4 i1 Group-based training showed a significant effect (g = 0.29) whereas home-based administration did not (g = 0.09), with a significant between-subgroup difference (Q p = 0.007). → Lampit A 2014
Evidence¶
Lampit A 2014¶
Lampit A, Hallock H, Valenzuela M (2014) Computerized Cognitive Training in Cognitively Healthy Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Effect Modifiers. PLoS Med 11(11): e1001756. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001756
q4 · i1 · quant-synthesis · r3
Mixed-effects subgroup meta-analysis of delivery format across all cognitive outcomes. Group-based CCT was effective (g = 0.29) while home-based was not (g = 0.09); the between-group Q test was significant (p = 0.007), with low within-subgroup heterogeneity for group-based studies.
"there was a significant difference in the efficacy of group-based training (g = 0.29, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.38, p,0.001) compared to home-based administration (g = 0.09, 95% CI 20.02 to 0.21, p = 0.11; Q statistic for between-group heterogeneity = 7.183, df = 1, p = 0.007)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Processing Speed — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
Related Claims¶
- Training more than three sessions per week neutralizes CCT efficacy, while one or 2–3 sessions per week are effective — related
- Computerized cognitive training produces a small but statistically significant improvement in cognitive performance in healthy older adults — a broader claim this one bears on
- CCT yields small significant gains in nonverbal memory, working memory, and visuospatial skills, but only weak evidence for verbal memory — related
- CCT shows no significant effects on executive functions or attention in healthy older adults — related
- CCT improves processing speed with a moderate effect, the largest domain effect, though with large heterogeneity — related
- Working-memory-only training shows no positive evidence of efficacy in healthy older adults — related
