Electronic Cognitive Exercises

Background

Research has shown that brain exercise can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and can also improve the cognitive functioning of people with attention deficit disorder, head injuries, autism, schizophrenia and other cognitive problems. Today, there is a worldwide effort under way to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, and prevent it from developing. Additionally to pharmaceutical treatment, a form of cognitive exercise can be very useful, by improving mental abilities and brain functionality. The rehabilitation of cognitive impairments in patients with Alzheimer’s disease is a form of treatment that is used in order to limit and offset the damaged mental abilities. Also, CT is used to develop the thinking skills that help children in school and adults in the workplace improve their memory, attention, listening skills, self-control, processing speed, and more (1).
