“…From meta-analyses and reviews, there are wide variations in the effect size of computer-assisted cognitive remediation on cognitive functioning domains. The effect sizes reported could range from low to medium ( d = 0.25 to 0.65) for different cognitive domains ( Barlati et al, 2013 ; Galletly and Rigby, 2013 ; Garrido et al, 2013 ; Genevsky et al, 2010 ; Wykes et al, 2011 ). The repeated-measures design used in this study had two groups (an experimental group and a control group), and there were two repeated measures over time.…”

Background People with psychosis have a range of neuropsychological impairments that impact their functional abilities and rehabilitation outcomes. We designed a Computer-Assisted Cognitive Remediation (CACR) program to help young people with psychosis to restore their cognitive function. The program combines the drill-and-practice approach and the strategic approach to remediation, with sixteen sessions of computerized cognitive training, two sessions of psychoeducation, and four session of coaching on applying cognitive skills to daily life. Method This was a randomized, single-blind, controlled study in which the outcomes of the CACR program were compared with outcomes of a treatment-as-usual (TAU) control group. Pre-intervention and post-intervention measures were compared. Results When compared with the control group, the intervention group had significant increases in their MCCB neurocognitive composite scores, and specifically in the areas of verbal learning and speed of processing at posttest. They also had significant increases in their secondary outcome measures of mental well-being and perceived occupational competence. There were no significant differences in functional status between the two groups at post-test. Conclusions The CACR program was effective in improving overall cognitive function and in the specific domains of verbal learning, speed of processing, and effect sizes were small. Participants also experienced positive changes in mental well-being and perceived competence.

“…Cognitive Rehabilitation is a complex collection of technique that is designed to enhance perception, attention, comprehension, learning, remembering, problem solving and reasoning in individuals who are impaired in these areas. [ 1 2 3 4 ] Cognitive rehabilitation therapy is the art and science of restoring these mental processes and teaching compensatory strategies. While it is established that depression increases the risk of cognitive impairment, recent evidence suggests that cognitive dysfunction during remission increases the individuals’ vulnerability to onset, maintenance and recurrence of depression.…”

Background:Cognitive deficits are an important component of depression and may remain impaired after recovery from depression.Objectives:To evaluate the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation in depression on cognitive dysfunction in the area of attention and memory.Materials and Methods:The study was hospital based pre- and post-intervention with follow-up assessment design. Selection of the depressive patients was by purposive sampling. The sample size consists of 30 intervention depressive patients included in the study after giving written informed consent. After preassessment, all patients underwent 15 sessions as part of cognitive rehabilitation. Postassessment was done to see the outcome of cognitive rehabilitation after 3 months follow-up.Results:After the intervention, there was significant improvement in attention and memory area. Along with these deficits, their basic living skills were also improved.Conclusion:Cognitive rehabilitation techniques are useful in remediating cognitive dysfunction in the area of attention and memory in patients with depression.
