Predictors of activities of daily living in heathy older adults: Who benefits most from online cognitive training?

Abstract Objectives To investigate the course of activities of daily living (IADL) functioning and possible predictors of performance changes in healthy older adults conducting either a General Cognitive Training (GCT) or a Reasoning Cognitive Training (ReaCT) or no training (control group, CG) over...
