Abstract
Cognitive training is becoming increasingly popular as a topic of scientific research. We discuss possible as well as necessary future developments in this area. Among other things, we emphasize the need to develop more specific, mechanistic theories to guide cognitive training programs, discuss the combination of cognitive training with other cognitive-enhancement techniques, and consider the opportunities provided by virtual reality and gamification. We suggest that cognitive training programs should take individual differences more into consideration and discuss the societal and ethical background for the use of such programs.
