Poor Outcomes

Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common among older adults, with significant public health costs, and advanced age is a risk factor for poor outcomes after TBI. Older Veterans with TBI-related cognitive and emotional dysfunction without dementia may benefit from cognitive rehabilitation, particularly executive function training, and technology may promote optimal functioning for these patients by increasing access to such treatments. Dr. Kornblith will present pilot data on one such promising group intervention, Goal-Oriented Attentional Self-Regulation (GOALS), administered via in-home video telehealth. Themes gleaned from qualitative feedback collected throughout the intervention and post-treatment feedback questionnaires include the importance of communication and a smooth process with clear instructions for joining study sessions. Preliminary data suggest that only minor adaptions to the existing GOALS protocol are required for telehealth delivery and that delivering group-based executive function training to older TBI-exposed older Veterans with cognitive complaints via telehealth is feasible and acceptable.

AbstractThis study aimed to assess the effects of combined cognitive training on prospective memory ability of older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A total of 113 participants were divided into a control group and three intervention groups. Over three months, the control group received only community education without any training, whereas for the first six weeks, an executive function training group received executive function training, a memory strategy training group received semantic encoding strategy training, and the combined cognitive training group received executive function training twice a week for the first six weeks, and semantic encoding strategy training twice a week for the next six weeks. The combined cognitive training group showed improvement on the objective neuropsychological testing (Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale). The memory strategy training group showed improvement on the self-evaluation scales (PRMQ-PM). Combined cognitive training improved the prospective memory and cognitive function of older adults with MCI.

Executive Function (EF) is a higher cognitive process responsible for control and self-regulation of behavior. The aim of this study is to describe the developmental trajectory of EF in four and six-year old Colombian children, and to highlight possible differences by socio-cultural variables such as age, sex, type of school or socio-economic status. One hundred and sixty-three normotypical children were tested using psychological tests validated for a Spanish population belonging to the Weschler and Luria Initial batteries. HJ-biplot analysis showed that EF developed commensurate with age and school grade, although differences by socio-economic status and type of school were evident.
