Abstract:
Regular practice of stimulating activities maintains or even strengthens cognitive skills. This research investigated the effects of a cognitive training programme based on complex closed-ended problem solving on innovative thinking. We assessed how these interactions were modified after cognitive training based on problem solving in a subgroup of 16 subjects compared to leisure activity based on crossword solving in another subgroup of 15 subjects. In a pilot study, we evaluated changes in brain connectivity at rest as a result of training in the problem solving group. Data on cognitive measures showed that innovative thinking was influenced by reasoning in control subjects, whereas it was influenced by cognitive flexibility following problem-solving training. Modifications in the resting-state connectivity of attention, default mode and visual networks were observed in the problem solving group.
