No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will examine the effects of providing subjects who have attention deficits, with or without a formal diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with Working Memory computerized training and explore whether this training is a feasible way to help them better engage in a weight loss treatment program, thereby enhancing weight loss results. Half of the participants will receive five weeks of online adaptive WM training concurrently while attending an in-person 24-week behavioral weight management program and half will receive five weeks of a non-adaptive form of cognitive training concurrently while attending a 24-week behavioral weight management program in person.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Adaptive Working Memory Training

Participants will train for 30-40 minutes per day, five days per week at home for 5 weeks using an adaptive cognitive training program which becomes increasingly challenging as the participant masters each level. Behavioral classes will teach the principles of weight management and exercise.

BEHAVIORAL

Non-adaptive cognitive training

Participants will train for 30-40 minutes per day, five days per week at home for 5 weeks using a non-adaptive cognitive training program. Behavioral classes will teach the principles of weight management and exercise.
