Description
Ashley Curtis and co-authors test brain training programs across three small studies in midlife and older adults in a 2023 paper. Training gains have been uneven in healthy groups, and effects on sleep were little studied. The studies covered older adults with insomnia, some with mild cognitive loss, and middle aged adults with anxiety.
Programs ran six to eight weeks with game based or commercial training. In the first study, verbal memory and inhibition gains beat a waitlist phase. In the second, attention gains beat a trivia control. In the third, working memory improved, night wakings fell, and REM sleep share rose. The pattern suggests modest gains that vary by group and program.
