This study introduces THINKable, a new computerized cognitive remediation system in Italy. Results show significant improvements in memory and cognitive functions, enhancing real-world patient functioning.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Cognitive deficits impact daily functioning.
  • Neuropsychological training aims to improve cognitive abilities.
  • Computerized systems offer structured retraining.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the IBM THINKable system for cognitive remediation in Italy.
  • To assess improvements in cognitive functions and real-world functioning.
  • To explore the benefits for senile outpatients with no spontaneous recovery.

Main Methods:

  • First study in Italy using the IBM THINKable computerized cognitive remediation system.
  • Pre- and post-treatment assessments of cognitive performance.
  • Analysis of improvements in memory, higher cognitive functions, and attention.

  • Evaluation of changes in real-world functioning.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in cognitive performance measures post-treatment.
    • Memory and higher cognitive functions showed improvement through structured retraining.
    • Improvements were observed independently of attention.
    • Enhanced real-world functioning was noted in patients.
    • Senile outpatients, previously without spontaneous recovery, benefited from cognitive training.

    Conclusions:

    • The THINKable system demonstrates efficacy in cognitive remediation.
    • Computerized cognitive training can lead to significant functional improvements.
    • This approach is beneficial for various patient groups, including senile outpatients.
