Abstract
Objective: Evidence shows that adaptive cognitive training is beneficial for women with a breast cancer diagnosis. However, transfer effects of training benefits on perceived and objective measures of cognition are not substantiated. We investigated the transfer effects of online adaptive cognitive training (dual n-back training) on subjective and objective cognitive markers in a longitudinal design. Methods: Women with a primary diagnosis of breast cancer completed 12 sessions of adaptive cognitive training or active control training over two weeks. Objective assessments of working memory capacity, as well as performance on a response inhibition task, were taken while electrophysiological measures were recorded. Self-reported measures of cognitive and emotional health were collected pre-training, post-training, 6-months, and at 1-year follow-up times. Results: Adaptive cognitive training resulted in greater working memory capacity on the Change Detection Task and improved cognitive efficiency on the Flanker task together with improvements in perceived cognitive ability at 1-year post-training. Conclusions: Adaptive cognitive training can improve cognitive abilities with implications for long-term cognitive health in survivorship.
