“Our findings have important implications for the care of older adults,” the researchers wrote. “They provide … support for the use of SOPT [Speed of Processing Training] with the generally older and less healthy adults in independent and assisted living, because SOPT benefits were not significantly different between these groups, and their outcomes were comparable with those of prior studies of younger, healthier older adults.”
