The present study investigated the efficacy of RehaCom, a computerized cognitive training program, in improving memory and attention functions in the healthy, adult brain in comparison to playing a simple game (Solitaire).Method: 57 healthy participants completed either 9 sessions of attention and memory training within RehaCom or a simple game (Solitaire), for 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 3 weeks. Five pre-and post-training neuropsychological assessments were used to measure attention and memory, and level of anxiety and depression.Results: Results showed no significant differences between the experimental group and the active control group. Both groups showed a non-significant improvement in attention and memory over time as shown on scores in post-training assessments. This result indicated that, although both groups improved in terms of memory and attention function, RehaCom did not play a role in this improvement. However, participants in the experimental group showed a steady improvement over training sessions. Conclusion:The study presents the novelty of testing RehaCom in a healthy population and the finding that it does not greatly improve memory and attention functions in a selection of healthy individuals. Further research is needed in order to assert its efficacy in improving cognitive functions across both healthy and patient populations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
