Structure Learning Training and Cognitive Flexibility
Abstract
The overarching aim of the project is to assess whether structure learning is an effective tool to train and improve cognitive flexibility and whether this is transferable to learning and other cognitive skills. The investigators will employ a multi-modal approach that combine both cognitive-behavioural and neuroimaging measures to examine how functional brain activations and/or cognitive performances are affected when participants go through a structure learning training paradigm relative to a working memory training paradigm (active control) or a no-training paradigm (passive control).
Conditions: Healthy.
Primary outcome: Structure Learning Outcome 1 - Performance Index (PI) Relative; Structure Learning Outcome 2 - Strategy choice; Structure Learning Outcome 3 - Strategy index (measured by the integral curve difference); Structure Learning Outcome 4 - Learning rate; Structure Learning Outcome 5 - Strategy shifting rate; Cognitive Flexibility Outcome 1 - Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST): Proportion of perseverative errors; Cognitive Flexibility Outcome 2 - Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST): Learning rate; Cognitive Flexibility Outcome 3 - Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST): Decision consistency; Cognitive Flexibility Outcome 4 - Intra/Extra-Dimensional Set Shifting (IED): Extra-dimensional set errors; Cognitive Flexibility Outcome 5 - Intra/Extra-Dimensional Set Shifting (IED): Extra-dimensional reversal errors; Cognitive Flexibility Outcome 6 - Intra/Extra-Dimensional…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 108 participants or records.
