Improv as cognitive activity
Our study provides the initial steps of establishing construct validity of improv exercises as a meaningful form of cognitive activity. This set of exercises can be examined as a cognitive training program in future clinical trials in order to determine if it has a significant influence on the cognitive function of older adults.
