Problems with attention are a common and debilitating consequence of brain injury. Studies show that poor attention is the number one predictor of poor cognitive functioning one year post-injury. This is due to the fact that attention is a necessary component of more complex cognitive functions such as learning & memory, multi-tasking and problem solving. In many cases, individuals may exhibit problems with spatial attention known as 'hemi-spatial neglect syndrome' or simply 'neglect'. Many studies now show that the processing machinery of the brain is plastic and remodeled throughout life by learning and experience, enabling the strengthening of cognitive skills or abilities. Research has shown that brief, daily computerized cognitive training that is sufficiently challenging, goal-directed and adaptive enables intact brain structures to restore balance in attention and compensate for disruptions in cognitive functioning. The study aims to understand how our computer program can affect cognition and attention in those with acquired brain injury.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Performance on Posner Cueing Task | Between-group magnitude of change in reaction time (RT) for RT detecting targets appearing on the left side of the display minus the RT for detecting targets appearing on the right side of the display as measured by Posner Cueing Task. Positive reaction time difference scores indicate a rightward bias; whereas, negative reaction time difference scores indicate a leftward bias in spatial attention. | At 3 months | |
Secondary | Change in Spatial Cognition (Multiple scores are aggregated to arrive at a single composite score) | Between-group magnitude of change in composite score with the measure constructed from Greyscales Task (perceptual bias score) and Spatial Working Memory Task (percent accuracy for targets). The composite is composed of the individual measures combined as follows: i. For each included variable convert the distribution of raw scores in the Intent-to-Treat population at baseline to z-scores (with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1). ii. Compute the average of all z-scores to create a single score for the composite measure. |
At 3 months and at 6 months | |
Secondary | Change in Cognitive Performance (Multiple scores are aggregated to arrive at a single composite score) | Between-group magnitude of change in composite score with the measure constructed from Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System Verbal Fluency (Letter Fluency, raw scores; Category Fluency total, raw scores; Category Switching total, raw scores; Category Switching, switching Accuracy total, raw scores), Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV) Digit Span total (sum of forward, backward, sequencing raw scores), WAIS-IV Digit Span (Forward total, raw scores; Backward total, raw scores; Sequencing total, raw scores), and Gradual Continuous Performance Task (percent accuracy for targets and standard deviation (SD) of average reaction time for non-targets). The composite is composed of the individual measures combined as follows: i. For each included variable convert the distribution of raw scores in the Intent-to-Treat population at baseline to z-scores (with a mean of 0 and a SD of 1). ii. Compute the average of all z-scores to create a single score for the composite measure. |
At 3 months and at 6 months | |
Secondary | Change in Functional Ability (Multiple scores are aggregated to arrive at a single composite score) | Between-group magnitude of change in composite score with the measure constructed from Catherine Bergego Scale total (raw score) and Barthel Index total (raw score). The composite is composed of the individual measures combined as follows: i. For each included variable convert the distribution of raw scores in the Intent-to-Treat population at baseline to z-scores (with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1). ii. Compute the average of all z-scores to create a single score for the composite measure. |
At 3 months and at 6 months | |
Secondary | Change in Quality of Life (Multiple scores are aggregated to arrive at a single composite score) | Between-group magnitude of change in composite score with the measure constructed from SF-12v2 Health Survey Physical and Mental Component Scores. The composite is composed of the individual measures combined as follows: i. For each included variable convert the distribution of raw scores in the Intent-to-Treat population at baseline to z-scores (with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1). ii. Compute the average of all z-scores to create a single score for the composite measure. |
At 3 months and at 6 months | |
Secondary | Change in Quality of Sleep: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Multiple scores are aggregated to arrive at a single composite score) | Between-group magnitude of change in composite score with the measure constructed from Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI, sum of component scores), PSQI Sleep Efficiency (raw score), and PSQI Component scores. The composite is composed of the individual measures combined as follows: i. For each included variable convert the distribution of raw scores in the Intent-to-Treat population at baseline to z-scores (with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1). ii. Compute the average of all z-scores to create a single score for the composite measure. |
