To tackle the challenge of responders heterogeneity, Cognitive Training (CT) research currently
leverages AI Techniques for providing individualized curriculum rather than one-size-fits-all
designs of curriculum. Our systematic review explored these new generations of adaptive methods
in computerized CT and analyzed their outcomes in terms of learning mechanics (intra-training
performance) and effectiveness (near, far and everyday life transfer effects of CT). A search up to
June 2023 with multiple databases selected 19 computerized CT studies using AI techniques for
individualized training. After outlining the AI-based individualization approach, this work
analyzed CT setting (content, dose, etc), targeted population, intra-training performance
tracking, and pre-post-CT effects. Half of selected studies employed a macro-adaptive approach
mostly for multiple-cognitive domain training while the other half used a micro-adaptive approach
with various techniques, especially for single-cognitive domain training. Two studies emphasized
the favorable influence on CT effectiveness, while five underscored its capacity to enhance the
training experience by boosting motivation, engagement, and offering diverse learning pathways.
Methodological differences across studies and weaknesses in their design (no control group, small
sample, etc.) were observed. Despite promising results in this new research avenue, more research
is needed to fully understand and empirically support individualized techniques in cognitive
training.Read less <
