At-home computerized executive-function training to improve cognition and mobility in normal-hearing adults and older hearing aid users: a multi-centre, single-blinded randomized controlled trial

Author(s): Downey R; Gagné N; Mohanathas N; Campos JL; Pichora-Fuller KM; Bherer L; Lussier M; Phillips NA; Wittich W; St-Onge N; Gagné JP; Li K;

Background: Hearing loss predicts cognitive decline and falls risk. It has been argued that degraded hearing makes listening effortful, causing competition for higher-level cognitive resources needed for secondary cognitive or motor tasks. Therefore, executive function training has the potential ...

Effects of Exercise Alone or Combined With Cognitive Training and Vitamin D Supplementation to Improve Cognition in Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Author(s): Montero-Odasso M; Zou G; Speechley M; Almeida QJ; Liu-Ambrose T; Middleton LE; Camicioli R; Bray NW; Li KZH; Fraser S; Pieruccini-Faria F; Berryman N; Lussier M; Shoemaker JK; Son S; Bherer L;

Importance: Exercise, cognitive training, and vitamin D may enhance cognition in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Objective: To determine whether aerobic-resistance exercises would improve cognition relative to an active control and if a multidomain intervention including exerc ...

Multiple routes to help you roam: A comparison of training interventions to improve cognitive-motor dual-tasking in healthy older adults

Author(s): Downey R; Bherer L; Pothier K; Vrinceanu T; Intzandt B; Berryman N; Lussier M; Vincent T; Karelis AD; Nigam A; Vu TTM; Bosquet L; Li KZH;

Cognitive-motor dual-tasking is a complex activity that predicts falls risk and cognitive impairment in older adults. Cognitive and physical training can both lead to improvements in dual-tasking; however, less is known about what mechanisms underlie these changes. To investigate this, 33 healthy ...

A comparison of the effect of physical activity and cognitive training on dual-task performance in older adults

Author(s): Vrinceanu T; Blanchette CA; Intzandt B; Lussier M; Pothier K; Vu TTM; Nigam A; Bosquet L; Karelis AD; Li KZH; Berryman N; Bherer L;

Objectives: Studies suggest that cognitive training and physical activity can improve age-related deficits in dual-task performances. However, both of these interventions have never been compared in the same study. This paper investigates the improvement in dual-task performance in two types of e ...

Assessment of the Relationship Between Executive Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Healthy Older Adults

Author(s): Predovan D; Berryman N; Lussier M; Comte F; Vu TTM; Villalpando JM; Bherer L;

Associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and brain health in healthy older adults have been reported using a variety of cardiorespiratory fitness estimates (CRFe). Using commonly used methods to determine CRF, we assessed the relationship between CRFe and executive function performance. Healthy older adults (n = 60, mean age 68 years, 77% women), un ...

A comparison of physical exercise and cognitive training interventions to improve determinants of functional mobility in healthy older adults

Author(s): Pothier K; Vrinceanu T; Intzandt B; Bosquet L; Karelis AD; Lussier M; Vu TTM; Nigam A; Li KZH; Berryman N; Bherer L;

Objectives: Mobility is a complex but crucial clinical outcome in older adults. Past observational studies have highlighted that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), energy cost of walking (ECW), and cognitive switching abilities are associated with mobility performance, making these key determinants ...

Synergistic effects of cognitive training and physical exercise on dual-task performance in older adults

Author(s): Bherer L; Gagnon C; Langeard A; Lussier M; Desjardins-Crépeau L; Berryman N; Bosquet L; Vu TTM; Fraser S; Li KZH; Kramer AF;

Background: Studies report benefits of physical exercise and cognitive training to enhance cognition in older adults. However, most studies did not compare these interventions to appropriate active controls. Moreover, physical exercise and cognitive training seem to involve different mechanisms o ...
