Executive Function Training Intervention for Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a prevalent disorder developed by military personnel. While some individuals recover function within months after injury, others continue to suffer from cognitive problems months to years later and may not become evident immediately, particularly for the recently transitioned veteran. Chronic TBI cases may include persistent difficulties in cognition that negatively impact employment and personal relationships.

The investigators will test and evaluate software-based interventions aimed at improving cognition in veterans experiencing everyday life cognitive deficits due to TBI. The interventions will be administered on a computer using a tele-health approach. Two conditions will be compared, an active condition challenging memory, inhibitory control and planning, and a context-matched control condition that is lower on these challenge levels.

BEHAVIORAL

Expedition

On a laptop computer participants work on simulated daily life activities including packing for a trip, navigating a transit system, and learning at museum attractions. The intervention increases difficulty as participants accomplish goals. We are testing the effects of this performance challenge on executive function measures.
