Mechanisms of Cognitive Change (CTCS)
21. september 2022 oppdatert av: Michael L Thomas, Colorado State University
This study will determine whether targeted cognitive training, a low-cost and low-risk commercial cognitive remediation therapy, directly impacts therapeutic targets as well as secondary outcomes in college undergraduates.
The active intervention will be compared to an active control condition (computer games).
Participants will also attend CSU TILT (The Institute for Teaching and Learning) Academic Workshops.

Detaljert beskrivelse
The primary goal of this project is to investigate whether commercial cognitive remediation therapy improves cognitive functioning in college undergraduates.
The secondary goal is to investigate neurophysiological, cognitive, and psychosocial mechanisms of change.
The investigators will compare cognitive remediation therapy to computer games.
The active control condition will allow the investigators to determine whether targeted cognitive training, as an adjunct to academic skills training provided by CSU TILT, provides significant improvement over computer games alone (which is also thought to provide some value as "brain training").
Participants who agree to enroll in the study will be randomized to one of two intervention arms: cognitive remediation (CR) or active control (AC).
In the CR arm, participants will complete 20 hours of targeted cognitive training, in 30-min session, 5 days per week, over 8 weeks.
The AC Arm will follow the same schedule, except that participants will complete video games (e.g., pong).
All participants will repeat assessments at randomly determined midpoint, as well as after the 8 weeks of training have been completed.

Eksperimentell: Cognitive Remediation
Cognitive Remediation comprises of six exercises supplied by BrainHQ by Posit Science Corporation: Sound Sweeps (targets auditory processing speed): Two successive frequency-modulated tone sweeps are presented and participants indicate whether the frequency increased or decreased within each tone: Fine Tuning (targets auditory perception and processing speed): Participants indicate which one of two confusable syllables were presented; Syllable Stacks (targets auditory memory); Users report the order of presented syllables in a serial memory span task; Memory Grid (targets auditory memory); Participants match identical cards representing syllables; To do List Training (targets auditory memory): Participants see a g rid of everyday items (e.g., plant, carrots, shovel) and select the items in accordance with spoken instructions; Rhythm Recall (target auditory memory): Participants recreate auditory melodies
