Arms & Interventions
Cogmed Robomemo working memory training
Participants will complete 25 sessions (5 weeks) of Cogmed Robomemo (Pearson assessment) working memory training
Intervention: Cogmed Robomemo working memory training (Behavioral)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Changes in training index
Time Frame: Changes in training index is measured during 5 weeks of working memory training
The training index is based on the user's best results from selected exercises in the program. The Start Index is calculated with the results from days 2 and 3, and the Max Index is calculated with the results from the two best days during the training period. The Index Improvement is calculated by subtracting the Start Index from the Max Index.
Secondary Outcomes
- Neuropsychological testing(baseline and 2 months)
