1 What is Brain Training and will it help my child? Professor Peter Anderson Monash Institute of Cognitive and Clinical Neurosciences School of Psychological Sciences Monash University Group Leader, VIBeS Murdoch Childrens Research Institute
2 Outline What is brain training Cogmed working memory training Evidence for Cogmed Memory Meastros Cogmed & preterm children Norwegian studies IMPRINT Future directions & conclusions Questions
3 Brain Training Often referred to as cognitive training Intervention to improve specific cognitive skill(s) Based on premise that: Specific cognitive skills can be improved Most interventions involve repetitive training Vary according to length of training sessions, number of training sessions, and training exercises
4 TRAIN YOUR BRAIN
5 Big Business Digital-brain-health market $210 mil $600 mil $1.3 bil ($715m software) $6.15 bil ($3.38bil software) Lumosity > 70 million members End users only 20% are <18 years
6 Adaptive cognitive training Exercises are practiced intensely (ie. repeatedly) Training commences at the individual s ability level Performance continuously monitored Complexity level adapted to keep student challenged but not frustrated Multiple exercises are trained. Cross-training is thought to increase likelihood that real-life improvements will be achieved, as well as sustained benefits Inbuilt rewards to maximise motivation Safe learning environment to encourage individuals to try alternative strategies and make mistakes Content is age appropriate, engaging and fun Computer-games
7
8 Cogmed Program Designed by Torkel Klingberg at Karolinska Institute Utilises cognitive training principles to improve working memory Training is intensive (40-50 mins, 5 days per week, for 5 weeks) Training commences at the child s ability level Complexity constantly adapts to child s increasing performance Activities designed to be engaging and fun Rewards system Training is based on implicit learning rather than explicit learning
9 Cogmed Started as a experimental intervention for ADHD children Small trials demonstrated short- and moderate-term benefits Start-up company formed, Cogmed Inc Selected individuals were accredited to be Cogmed coaches June 2010 Cogmed purchased by Pearsons
10 Cogmed Process Clients needs to be referred to a certified Cogmed Coach Certified coaches are usually health or educational professionals Completed accredited Cogmed training program Family attend a start-up session Introduction to training (practice session) Planning sessions, coach calls, reward structures, training environment, role of training aide Ensure program working on device and synching Monitoring of training coach calls, training web Wrap-up meeting
11 Eligibility The first responsibility of the Cogmed coach is to determine eligibility for training - its built into the protocol - salience/readiness to train is integral to the success of the program.

22 How to assess whether Brain Training works? Performance gains on trained exercises Expected result and not sufficient Gains in non-trained cognitive tests Eg. Better performance of tests of working memory Gains in everyday activities Eg. Better reading or maths Eg. Improved behaviour
23 Level of Evidence What level of evidence is needed to support individual brain training programs? Real-life benefits Magnitude of effect Duration of effect Cost effectiveness
24 Published research (Pearson s website) ADHD samples (20 studies) Typical / healthy samples (16 studies) Brain injury eg. Stroke, ABI (6 studies) Cancer (2 studies) Low WM / Academics / Classroom behaviour (6 studies) Hearing impaired (2 studies) Preterm birth (3 studies) Downs Syndrome (1 study) PTSD (1 study) Intelligence impairment (1 study) Language impairment (1 study) Chronic Fatigue (1 study) Mild cognitive impairment (1 study)

56 Design Double-blinded, placebo-controlled RCT of EP children aged 7-8 years All EP and/or ELBW (<1000g) children born in Victoria in 2005 who survived to age 2 Children with a severe intellectual/sensory/physical impairment that affects their capacity to attend mainstream school and families unable to support their child were excluded
57 July 2012 April 2014 n=172 Recruited n = 91 (60% participation) Baseline assessment Randomisation Placebo training n = 46 Cogmed training n = 45 2-week follow-up n = 45 2-week follow-up n = 43 1-yr follow-up n = 41 1-yr follow-up n = 39 2-yr follow-up n =?? 2-yr follow-up n =??

66 Summary No differences between Cogmed and placebo groups post training in working memory or attention. Slight improvements in working memory were observed in Cogmed and placebo groups. Need to determine which children benefited from program Compliance was not great Program was too difficult Too demanding: time & effort
67 Who is most likely to benefit? Specific cognitive profiles? Working memory deficits Attention deficits Specific clinical populations? ADHD Learning disability Mild cognitive impairment
68 Duration Structure of Training Length of training (15, 20, 30 sessions) Intensity 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 mins per day Frequency 2, 3, 5, 7 days per week Content & mode of delivery Implicit only, introduce some explicit strategies
69 Cogmed Plus Cogmed administered in conjunction with another intervention Prior Concurrently Post Combined programs Maths, literacy, inhibition, strategy based learning, anxiety,
70 Multiple domain programs Suite of modules focusing on specific cognitive domains Programs targeted to individual needs
71 Booster programs / sessions Benefits diminish with time Booster sessions required Frequency? Duration? Timing? Structure?
72 What we know Cogmed is a popular intervention Marketed heavily Immediate gains in working memory Initial benefits weaken with time Gains in real-life outcomes, such as academics, are unlikely Not suitable for individuals with severe impairments
73 What we don t know Which individuals benefit from training Whether modification of training structure would make it more effective Duration, intensity, frequency Implicit, explicit, repetition & strategy teaching Updating activities Whether combining it / integrating with other interventions would make it more effective
74 Conclusions Cognitive training may help to enhance core deficits in very preterm children Research evidence with Cogmed is mixed Cogmed & Placebo programs resulted in improved performance More research with Cogmed is needed Which families are suited to Cogmed? Which children will benefit? Do benefits persist long-term? Does improved working memory translate into better academic functioning and behaviour?
75 Questions Have any studies been done on brain training being used in conjunction with dietary supplements (eg Omega 3)? If so, how do results differ from studies done with brain training, without the use of supplements?
76 Questions Interested in brain training for children with ADHD
77 Questions What is the optimal age range for CogMed to address attention issues?
