Summary

People who suffered a cardiac arrest are often have cognitive impairments. In this study the investigators test the effectiveness of an intervention, combining direct training and metacognitive training, in a single case experimental design (SCED).

DEVICE

Metacognitive training + direct training

The intervention will consist of a combination of direct training of the impaired cognitive function(s) and metacognitive strategy training for 42 days (6 weeks). Direct training will be done with the computer program Rehacom for 20 minutes, 5 times a week. Metacognitive strategy training will be given on a weekly or biweekly basis (6-10 sessions) by a trained therapist at Adelante. Rehacom is a brain training program developed to improve a variety of cognitive functions with the use of game-like cognitive training modules. During the intervention the participant should train with Rehacom for approximately 600 minutes in total. In addition to the direct training, the participant receives six to ten sessions of metacognitive strategy training. During this training they are taught strategies by a therapist to improve their performance on the Rehacom modules and on daily life functioning. Each metacognitive strategy is linked to one of the Rehacom modules.
