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.

Die Kognitive Psychologie befasst sich mit Aussagen zu grundlegenden mentalen Erlebnis- und Verhaltensprozessen. Generelle Fragen sind dabei: Wie denkt der Mensch? Wie kann er etwas im Gedächtnis behalten? Wie funktioniert die Wahrnehmung des Menschen?In diesem Lehrbuch werden Theorien und empirische Befunde aus experimentellen Studien dargestellt, die Antworten auf diese und andere generelle Fragen der Kognitiven Psychologie geben können. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf den Domänen Wahrnehmung, Aufmerksamkeit, Gedächtnis, exekutive Funktionen und komplexe Prozesse wie Entscheiden und Problemlösen. Zusätzlich werden diese Domänen aus der Perspektive des kognitiven Alterns und der Perspektive des kognitiven Trainings betrachtet. Die Darstellung der Kognitiven Psychologie fokussiert sowohl auf etablierte Theorien wie auch neuere Befunde, um die Entwicklung in diesem Bereich aufzuzeigen.

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 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 educational settings), and methodological approaches (behavioral studies, neuroscientific studies).

Dieses Lehrbuch aus der Reihe „Was ist eigentlich …?“ gibt einen kurzen Überblick über das Fach „Allgemeine Psychologie“. Es will Psychologiestudierenden am Beginn des Studiums bei der Orientierung helfen, was wichtig ist und worauf es in dem Fach wirklich ankommt. Es bietet aber auch für Fachfremde, die an psychologischen Themen interessiert sind, einen ersten, gut verständlichen Einblick in die Denkweisen, Modelle und methodischen Herangehensweisen der Allgemeinen Psychologie.
