Computerized working memory training after stroke–A pilot study
Abstract
AIM: To examine the effects of working memory (WM) training in adult patients with stroke. METHODS: A randomized pilot study with a treatment group and a passive control group; 18 participants (12 males) in a vocational age group (mean age 54 years) were randomized to either the treatment or the control condition. The intervention consisted of computerized training on various WM tasks for five weeks. A neuropsychological test battery and self-rating on cognitive functioning in daily life (the CFQ) were administered both before and after the treatment. RESULTS: Statistically significant training effects were found on the non-trained tests for WM and attention, i.e., tests that measure related cognitive functions but are not identical to tasks in the training programme (Span board p < 0.05; PASAT p < 0.001; Ruff 2&7 p < 0.005). There was a significant decrease in symptoms of cognitive problems as measured by the CFQ (p < 0.005). CONCLUSION: More than one year after a stroke, systematic WM training can significantly improve WM and attention.

“Earlier studies of the computerized method for WM training in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) [27, 28] and in healthy adults [29] showed that: (a) training can increase WM capacity [27–29], (b) training-induced changes in brain activity occur [29], and (c) that training effects can be gen…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
