Speed of Processing Training in Traumatic Brain Injury
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Traumatic Brain Injury, Vascular Accident, Brain
In brief
The purpose of this project is to test the hypothesis that Speed of Information Processing (SIP) deficits in acquired brain injury (ABI) can be remediated. The majority of individuals with acquired brain injuries have speed of information processing deficits as part of the cognitive sequelae of the brain injury. Empirical research is expected to demonstrate the efficacy of computerized cognitive Speed of Information Processing (SIP) training in individuals with ABI. Study participants will be asked to attend two study visits over the course of approximately 13 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older, up to 70. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Mild, moderate and severe traumatic brain injury or a cerebral vascular accident (Stroke)
- All subjects will be between the ages of 18 and 70 years
- Free from significant psychiatric history (such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder), due to the potential influence of such disorders on cognitive functioning
- Free of current alcohol or drug as these factors have been shown to negatively affect cognitive abilities.
You may not qualify if…
- Potential participants will be excluded if they are currently taking benzodiazepines or neuroleptics due to their potential effects on cognition.
- Participant will be excluded if they are unable to comprehend the English language, either verbally or written.
- Participants will be excluded from the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan portion of the study if they contain metal in their body that is not compatible with the MRI scan.
