About this trial
(Neuro)Cognitive remediation (CR) is an intervention for people experiencing cognitive impairments that interfere with their daily functioning. Cognition refers to a person's ability to perceive, process, manipulate and respond to information. Attention, memory, abstract reasoning, and processing speed are all examples of cognitive skills. By focusing on improving these underlying skills, the overall aim of cognitive remediation is to improve the participant's daily satisfaction and success. CR can be achieved through teaching compensatory strategies, restoration of cognition through drill and practice and by utilizing regulative metacognitive strategies. Acquired skills and strategies are then 'bridged' or applied to daily functioning with the assistance of the clinician.
This pilot study intends to assess the impacts of a CR program on a population of Military Veterans, police officers, and retirees within the Nova Scotia Operational Stress Injury Clinic (NSOSIC). Researchers believe this program will improve cognitive functioning and that participants will perceive that the program was beneficial.
