Using Ecological Momentary Assessment to Index Real-world Treatment Gains From Remotely Delivered Cognitive and Functional Skills Training
SUMMARY
Computerized cognitive training and skills training have been found to lead to improvements in cognition and skills performance. One of the arguments by skeptics is that cognitive training has no real-world benefit. It is the case that new functional skills are not acquired with cognitive training alone. In this study we used digital assessment (Ecological Momentary Assessment: EMA) data to evaluate real-world transfer of training.
We saw substantial training gains with remote training across conditions and populations; that gains are maintained post treatment; that EMA detects changes in trained and untrained tasks; that in person pharmacy visits decline and that technology facilitated refills are increased; increases in general technology usage are detected across populations.
