Abstract
A method for cognitive training includes administering a complex spatial navigation task to a subject. Additional cognitive tasks may be administered before, during, and/or after the complex spatial navigation task. In some embodiments, the subject engages in physical activity during the complex spatial navigation task.
Claims20
A method for cognitive training, comprising:
- administering a complex spatial navigation task to a subject.
A method for cognitive training, comprising:
- administering a complex spatial navigation task to a subject;
- administering the complex spatial navigation task to the subject a second time, wherein during the second administration of the complex spatial navigation task, a cognitive task selected from the group of cognitive tasks that test memory, executive functions, information processing speed, language processing, and visuospatial/visuoperceptual functions is simultaneously administered to the subject.
A system for aerobic and cognitive training, comprising:
- a sensor for monitoring subject response to physical activity;
- a first input device for providing subject to a complex spatial navigation activity;
- a display device;
- and
- a computer including a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing software configured to administer a spatial navigation task to a subject on the display device, to receive responses to the complex spatial navigation task from the first input device, wherein the software determines at least one performance metric for the complex spatial navigation administered, stores the performance metric, and provides feedback to the subject regarding subject's performance, and wherein the software is configured to monitor data collected from the sensor regarding subject's physical response to activity, and prompt the subject to stay within a prescribed level of exertion.
