No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this proposal is to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation for visual attention deficits in U.S. military service members across three programs: Visual Attention and Working Memory Programs (UCR Games), Speech Pathologist-Directed Treatment, and General Cognitive Rehabilitation Games (Lumosity).

In addition to the above prospective component, this study also has a retrospective component in which archival data collected from routine clinical care will be examined for analysis. The investigators hope to gain a better understanding of the unique and cumulative influence different cognitive rehabilitation programs have on improving attention complaints in mTBI.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Visual Attention Program (UCR Games)

This program is an individual-directed computerized cognitive rehabilitation program based on perceptual learning approaches to enhance visual attention. Training incorporates a diverse set of stimuli, optimized stimulus presentation, multisensory facilitation, and consistently reinforcing training stimuli. This will be completed in a group setting with an instructor available to facilitate questions.

OTHER

Speech Pathologist-Directed Therapy

This is a speech pathologist-directed arm and will provide a traditional clinician-directed individualized cognitive rehabilitation program. Cognitive treatment is a systematic, functionally oriented program of therapeutic activities that focuses on strengthening previously learned patterns of behavior, establishing new patterns through use of internal and external compensatory cognitive strategies, and enabling the individual to adapt to the changes in his or her revised approaches to cognitive functioning. Increased performance success is reinforced through repetition, errorless learning, and gradually increasing task stimuli and complexity in a structured systematic approach.

OTHER

General Cognitive Rehabilitation Games (Lumosity)

Lumosity is a commercially available computerized program purported to enhance cognitive functioning through a variety of computerized programs that utilize various cognitive abilities.
