If this is the case the authors need to explain why the interventions are apparently different. Alternatively, the authors may have reported two separate trials and inadvertently used the same registration number. If this is the case, the authors need to explain why the demographic characteristics of control participants are identical in both studies’. The authors of the papers would like clarify the relationships of the following articles and the original study: ‘Our research team conducted a series of integrated multi-year projects that were planned with parallel-group design with multiple interventions, the evaluation of Executive Function Training (A1) versus C. on older adults' different domains of cognitive abilities (used with Rehacom Computer Training Software Executive Function Training module) (Chiu et al., 2018, the evaluation of Interactive Cognitive Motor Training (A2) versus C. on older adults' different domains of cognitive abilities, visual motor coordination, and gait and balance (used with Hot Plus Interactive Health Service System) (Chan et al., 2019; Kao et al., 2018), both sharing the same control (C) group. The integrated project was complicated, and the measurements of outcome indicators were difficult to digest within the confines of the space. Therefore, in each substudy, distinct aims, different objectives, essential questions, and specific hypotheses were explored further. The Chiu et al. (2018) study focused on executive function, including mental shifting, working memory, and inhibition. Another study focused on eye-hand coordination (visual-motor integration, visual perception, and motor coordination) and general cognitive function (Chan et al., 2019). The other focused on the effectiveness of gait (pace, arm and trunk movement, dynamic stability, and turning) and balance (X-axis and Y-axis direction) (Kao et al., 2018)’. Note from the Editor-in-Chief: Having considered the points raised by Gray (2020) and consulted the appropriate COPE guidelines to see if a retraction of the JAN article was necessary I concluded that it was not and that the matter has been clarified by the authors.
