What was Project ACTIVE? What was learned from this project?
ANSWER:
Project ACTIVE was a longitudinal research study created by Sherry Willis. It was designed to investigate the impact of training on primary mental abilities. Beginning in the 1990s, ACTIVE was a randomized and controlled clinical research project.
Initially, six different centers enrolled more than 3,000 people in the study. Could cognitive training enhance mental abilities (such as memory, reasoning, and attention) and preserve IADLs (such as managing one's finances and taking medications)? To summarize, the findings showed that cognitive training improved mental abilities and daily functioning in older independent living adults. The training gains lasted several years. There was one caveat. Those with a mild cognitive impairment did not benefit from memory training, but they did benefit from training on reasoning and speed of processing.
