Cognitive Rehabilitation for Veterans With Parkinson's Disease
This study will examine the feasibility of an at-home cognitive training program that
incorporates both memory training and online computerized cognitive training (CCT) software.
Data will also be collected to determine if this program improves thinking and memory as well
as everyday function. The hypothesis is that memory and cognitive training combined ,
compared to memory training alone or will lead to greater improvements in cognitive
performance and daily function.

The objective of this study is to examine feasibility of an at-home cognitive rehabilitation
program that incorporates both prospective implementation intentions strategies (PRIIS) and
an existing web-based executive function (EF) computerized cognitive training (CCT) software
for Veterans with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to collect pilot data to determine the impact
of this program on cognition and everyday function. The central hypothesis is that CCT+PRIIS,
compared to CCT alone and an active control group, will lead to greater improvements in
cognitive performance and daily function. This innovative study uses a set of on-line
training games that target aspects of EF susceptible in PD and trains the transfer of
cognitive benefits to everyday function, using PRIIS, for Veterans with PD and mild cognitive
impairment in executive function. Additionally, training is conducted at home allowing for
convenience and flexibility for participants.
