Background The increasing prevalence of psychological issues among older adults is a significant public health concern. Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) is being investigated and tested as a potential intervention tool for addressing these issues. Objective This review aims to assess[...]
Importance Identifying new interventions to slow and prevent cognitive decline associated with dementia is critical. Nonpharmacological interventions targeting modifiable risk factors are promising, relatively low-cost, accessible, and safe approaches. Objective To compare the effects of two 2-year lifestyle interventions on[...]
Continuous adult hippocampal neurogenesis is involved in memory formation and mood regulation but is challenging to study in humans. Difficulties finding proliferating progenitor cells called into question whether and how new neurons may be generated. We analyzed the human hippocampus[...]
Cultivating learners’ creativity has been a matter of great concern for numerous researchers in higher education since the millennium, as it involves not only artistic expression but also critical thinking and innovation. With the continuous innovation and iteration of educational[...]
Non-cognitive skills, such as motivation and self-regulation, are partly heritable and predict academic achievement beyond cognitive skills. However, how the relationship between non-cognitive skills and academic achievement changes over development is unclear. The current study examined how cognitive and non-cognitive[...]
Introduction Cognitive impairments present challenges for patients, impacting memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities. Virtual reality (VR) offers innovative ways to enhance cognitive function and well-being. This study explores the effects of VR-based training programs and games on improving cognitive disorders.[...]
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by cognitive deficits, loss of daily functions, and mental and behavioral disorders, which cause stress and negatively affect the quality of life. Studies in the field suggest that combining cognitive training with physical[...]
Background In recent years, the use of virtual reality (VR) as a complementary intervention in treating cognitive impairment has significantly increased. VR applications based on instrumental activities of daily living (iADL-VR) could offer a promising approach with greater ecological validity[...]
Video modeling is a well-validated behavioral intervention documented in the behavioral sciences. The methodology appears particularly beneficial for children with autism. The underlying theoreticalexplanations are posited and discussed. A single case study is presented using video modeling to improve the[...]
Mental well-being is poor in long-term care facilities (LTCF) residents. Physical disabilities, impaired social engagement, and environmental stress are also common in LTCF which exacerbate the decline of the mental well-being of older people living in LTCF. Protective elements, including[...]
