| Abstract |
Computerised training has been shown to benefit cognitive function in older adults but rarely, if ever, enhances performance in everyday life. This study examines how an entirely internet-based cognitive programme can generalise to daily functioning. This is an exploratory study (n = 25) of computer and video-based strategy training with older adults that was conducted over the internet to facilitate generalisation. Results found no evidence of gains to measures in daily functioning. The only training benefits were on tasks that had been trained. The results suggest that not all training procedures produce benefits and a lack of transfer to daily life was evident here. Caution should be taken in interpretation due to the small sample under investigation. This research may be useful for the design and conduct of future rehabilitation studies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 December 2015.
All research outputs
#7,714,565
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Aging Clinical and Experimental Research
#646
of 1,867 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#108,833
of 392,477 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Aging Clinical and Experimental Research
#9
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,867 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 392,477 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
