About this book
This book offers a comprehensive overview of empirical findings and methodological approaches of cognitive training research in different cognitive domains (memory, executive functions, etc.), types of training (working memory training, video game training, physical training, etc.), age groups (from children to young and older adults), target populations (children with developmental disorders, aging workers, MCI patients etc.), settings (laboratory-based studies, applied studies in clinical and educational settings), and methodological approaches (behavioral studies, neuroscientific studies). Chapters feature theoretical models that describe the mechanisms underlying training-induced cognitive and neural changes.
Cognitive Training: An Overview of Features and Applications, Second Edition will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, students, and professors in the fields of psychology and neuroscience.

About the editors
Julia Karbach completed her PhD on the lifespan plasticity of cognitive development in 2008. She held positions at Saarland University and at Goethe-University Frankfurt. Since 2017, she serves as full professor for Developmental and Educational Psychology at the University of Koblenz-Landau. Her research focuses on neurocognitive development and plasticity across the lifespan. She currently investigates individual differences in executive control training (working memory, inhibition, flexibility) and physical training across a wide range of ages and populations (children, older adults, patients with cognitive impairments).
