Pilot Study of the Feasibility and Efficacy of Working Memory Training in Children With Cochlear Implants
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cogmed Working Memory Training Program for Bilateral Hearing Loss. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is an investigation of the effect of a computer-based working memory training program on memory and language processing in at-risk children (e.g., those with working memory weaknesses) who have received cochlear implants.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The Cogmed Working Memory Training program is a 5-week program of computer-based exercises that require the user to complete tasks involving verbal, visual, or combined verbal-visual memory skills. In addition to memory skills, Cogmed tasks demand attention, concentration, and reasoning skills. Users are expected to practice Cogmed exercises at home for 40 minutes/day, 5 days/week, during the 5-week training period. The program uses an adaptive algorithm that presents users with problems of increasing difficulty at a level slightly higher than that at which they have recently achieved success.
