Cognitive Training with Supplemental Digital Delivery for Soldiers with TBI
A Feasibility Study of One-On-One Cognitive Training with Supplemental Digital Delivery
for Soldiers with Traumatic Brain Injury
Abstract: In this quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest feasibility study, 11 soldiers between 3 and 36
months post traumatic brain injury completed half of ThinkRx through one-on-one cognitive training
at an occupational therapy clinic and half through computer-based cognitive training sessions at
home. Participants achieved statistically significant gains in short term memory, associative memory,
executive processing, auditory processing, and fluid reasoning with very large effect sizes; and selfreported
improvements in attention, memory, and organization. Further, they achieved significant
clinical changes, restoring function to normal levels in nearly all cognitive skills. Examples of clinically
significant changes in memory are shown in the box plots.
