Abstract: The search for an effective means of maintaining cognitive health through conscious intervention has been ongoing for over a century.In the past three decades alone, advances in computing power and display technology have enabled the emergence of a multi-billiondollar industry that markets and sells screen-based training products.At the same time, the academic community has contributed numerous research studies examining potential approaches and protocols.Frequently investigated topics include training modality (e.g., working memory vs. divided attention) and implementation strategies (how much training, how often, etc.).Although most people now encounter cognitive training in the form of game-like smartphone apps, relatively few studies have examined the graphical design of the training task or the environmental and social circumstances under which training occurred.
