Abstract

The paper analyzes modern literature on methods of cognitive functions recovery as dual tasks, implying simultaneous execution of motor and cognitive tasks. There is ambiguity of currently obtained data on the effectiveness of dual tasks in cognitive rehabilitation of elderly people, people with traumatic and neurodegenerative brain damage. It is assumed that the success of dual tasks is associated with the severity of transfer and interference effects. Opportunities and prospects of using dual tasks in cognitive rehabilitation of patients after cardiac surgery are outlined.
