Cognitive Fitness Framework: Selecting and training for high performance

1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Promotional description

What it takes to sustain performance under pressure is remarkably common across many occupations, from firefighters and emergency medicine, to sport, performing arts, and the military. This symposium will provide an update on the Cognitive Fitness Framework (CF2; Aidman, 2020), the unique expert consensus developed to translate key domains of cognitive functioning (RDoC) to high performance applications and showcase a prototype training program aimed at systematically improving these elements of cognitive fitness.

Learning outcomes

- learn the fundamental of the Cognitive Fitness Framework
- learn the principles of expert consensus building and the Delphi method
- experience the CF2-derived training serials developed by performance psychologists with extensive experience in Olympic sports, corporate and military applications.
