Hypothesis
Individual motivation levels would significantly influence adherence behavior.
Conclusion
High levels of motivation significantly increase adherence behavior in technology-based cognitive training interventions.
Supporting Evidence
- The study comprised a sample size of 118 older adults.
- Motivation was operationally defined based on participants’ performance in cognitive training games.
- The linear mixed model analysis revealed a significant effect of motivation on adherence.
- For each unit increase in motivation, there is a significant increase in adherence.
- Likelihood ratio tests showed significantly divergent log-likelihoods between the two models.
Takeaway
If people are more motivated, they are likely to stick with brain training games better.
Methodology
The study used advanced multilevel modeling techniques to compare adherence models with and without motivation as a predictor.
Participant Demographics
Older adults aged 65 years and above.
