Summary

This study will examine the feasibility of an at-home cognitive training program that incorporates both memory training and online computerized cognitive training (CCT) software. Data will also be collected to determine if this program improves thinking and memory as well as everyday function. The hypothesis is that memory and cognitive training combined , compared to memory training alone or will lead to greater improvements in cognitive performance and daily function.

Detailed description

The objective of this study is to examine feasibility of an at-home cognitive rehabilitation program that incorporates both prospective implementation intentions strategies (PRIIS) and an existing web-based executive function (EF) computerized cognitive training (CCT) software for Veterans with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to collect pilot data to determine the impact of this program on cognition and everyday function. The central hypothesis is that CCT+PRIIS, compared to CCT alone and an active control group, will lead to greater improvements in cognitive performance and daily function. This innovative study uses a set of on-line training games that target aspects of EF susceptible in PD and trains the transfer of cognitive benefits to everyday function, using PRIIS, for Veterans with PD and mild cognitive impairment in executive function. Additionally, training is conducted at home allowing for convenience and flexibility for participants.

Conditions
