Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary Outcome is working memory functioning. Performance is analyzed with multiple standardized neuropsychological tests which are combined to a composite score. Outcome measures are: Digit and Span Board tasks (WMS-R), Digit-Symbol Coding and Letter-Number Sequencing (WIE). <br><br>All outcomes are measured 3 times: at baseline before training, after 10 training sessions, after 20 training sessions.<br><br>Examinations are individual and take place in quite separate rooms. The examiners are blind with respect to group allocation.
