Memory Restoration Using Computerized Cognitive Training after Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury: A Review of the Evidence. EBP Briefs. Volume 12, Issue 3
Lundine, Jennifer P.
EBP Briefs (Evidence-based Practice Briefs)
Clinical Question: For children and adolescents with memory impairments after traumatic brain injury (TBI), do computerized cognitive training (CCT) programs used in conjunction with traditional therapy vs. traditional therapy alone lead to memory gains in daily activities? Method: Literature Review. Study Sources: Google Scholar, CINAHL via EBSCOhost, MEDLINE via PubMed, PsycBITE, and ASHAWire. Search Terms: TBI OR brain injury AND child/children OR pediatric AND memory AND computer(s)/computerized OR cognitive training OR therapy. Number of Included Studies: 2. Primary Results: There are a limited number of studies examining the use of CCT programs for memory training following pediatric TBI. A larger number of studies have examined CCT for memory training with adults following TBI and in children with other diagnoses (e.g., ADHD). Conclusions: There is limited and low-quality evidence to support the use of CCT for memory training following pediatric TBI, over and above traditional therapy. Further research is needed examining the use of CCT for memory training in this population. Future studies should evaluate and report on how any potential gains found following CCT might transfer to daily activities (e.g., academic performance).
