Working memory

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Adapted tango improves working memory in humans.

    “Significant improvements were noted in N-back RT and accuracy (p = 0.008 and p < 0.001), with no changes observed in the control group.”

1 study
  1. Adapted tango improves dimensional Change Card Sort task performance in humans.

    “DCCS RT and accuracy also showed significant improvements (p < 0.001), while the control group exhibited no changes.”

Executive function

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Adapted tango improves executive function in humans.

    “Significant group × time interactions were found for Flanker reaction time (RT) and accuracy (p = 0.002 and p < 0.001), with improvements in the tango group”

Global cognition

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Adapted tango improves global cognition in humans.

    “MMSE total and subdomains (e.g., orientation) significantly improved (p < 0.001), with no changes in the controls.”

    Human trialtwice weekly, 60 min per session12 weeksn = 50
