Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of administering a 20-day preoperative cognitive training intervention (Cog-Train) to a widely inclusive sample of cardiac surgical patients.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cog-Train Intervention

Twenty-one days prior to surgery, patients will begin self-administering the intervention using an iPad tablet. This intervention will consist with daily sessions of at least 20 minutes of the Cog-Train task (the task and regimen used to obtain robust effects in previous studies by members of our group). Cog-Train is an n-back task - an adaptive working memory computer game that extends players' working memory capacity by getting progressively more difficult as the player's performance increases.
