Prior to the Cogmed start-up session, the child will be randomised to either the adaptive working memory training program (intervention) group or the non-adaptive working memory training program (placebo) group in a 1 1 ratio.
Simple main effects showed that the rate of memory retention of the intervention group improved after the program completion (p < .05).05
Aiello et al [ 29] study showed an increase in hot flash severity and decreased risk of memory problems among the intervention group women compared to controls.
The beneficial effect of sedative interruption on psychological well-being might be ascribed to a decreased medication amount, to a decreased time on the ventilator, or to different memory processing among the intervention group, highlighting the complexity of potential contributing factors.
Thus, 26 memory clinics (10 in university hospitals, 16 in general hospitals) were randomised to the intervention group and 24 memory clinics (10 in university hospitals, 14 in general hospitals) to the control group (figure).
General functioning of autobiographical memory will be explored, in the intervention group only, by tracking the number of life events initially identified at the start of the intervention, as well as the recovery of new events and possible temporal reorganization of life events during therapy.
Participants in the active intervention group had improved working-memory function and, more importantly, significantly reduced the number of drinks they drank per week, compared with participants in the control group.
Finally, we will examine the association between executive function/working memory and adherence, predicting that adherence will be related to executive/working memory in the control group but not in the intervention group.
On a cognitive level, the intervention group also improved mental focus, memory and reading comprehension scores.
A comparison with memory impairments revealed no significant differences between the intervention group and the control group, either for participants younger or older than 80 at time t2.
