A Computerized Functional Skills Assessment and Training Program Targeting Technology Based Everyday Functional Skills
SUMMARY
Today, many functional skills are technology-based, so development of a technology-based training program has broad importance. Here we present a computerized functional skills training program that was paired in half of the participants with a commercially available cognitive training (CCT) program.
CSFT/FUNSAT™ training led to substantial and rapid treatment gains with as few as 6 training sessions, with results applicable to both NC and MCI participants. Both participant groups evidenced substantial improvements in task performance. CCT supplementation led to similar CFST gains with half as many CFST training sessions. These findings replicate our previous findings with older patients with schizophrenia and a separate sample of healthy controls.
