Abstract:
Individuals’ cognitive abilities often decline with aging and the occur of geriatric diseases. Appropriate interventions can effectively prevent or alleviate this process, and cognitive intervention is one of the rapid developed methods in recent years. With the development of neuroimaging technology, the effect of cognitive intervention can be more vividly reflected. In current review, we firstly classified a wide range of cognitive interventions into several major categories. Then we described the changes of neural structure and function caused by cognitive intervention. Finally, we discussed the deficiencies of current cognitive intervention researches, and hoping to provide some suggestion for the future researches.
个体的认知能力常常会伴随老化或者老年疾病的发生而衰退,适当的干预手段可以有效地阻止或缓解这一进程,认知干预便是近年来发展较为迅速的一种。随着神经影像学技术的发展,认知干预的有效性也在神经层面多有体现。本综述首先对种类繁多的认知干预进行了分类总结,然后结合影像学研究论述了认知干预带来的神经结构和功能上的改变,最后对当前认知干预研究还存在的不足进行了讨论,希望能够为未来的认知干预研究提供值得借鉴的方向。
