Evaluating the Efficacy of Central Executive Training (CET) for ADHD

项目摘要/摘要 当前项目的目标是评估中央行政人员培训(CET)对患有ADHD的青年的效果。 与NIMH战略目标3和NIH(1998)关于ADHD的共识声明一致，我们的R34 开发CET将临床神经认知结果转化为影响ADHD的新临床方案 以中枢过程为靶点的行为症状。最终的计算机化的CET方案反映了 不同群体的照顾者、ADHD儿童和公认的人类专家的贡献和反馈 认知，ADHD治疗研究，RCT干预设计方法，严肃博弈论和任务设计， 认知训练，以及执行功能障碍在ADHD中的作用。试点数据表明， 改善青少年ADHD患者的工作记忆和ADHD症状。当前项目将提供一个 大学英语四级考试(CET)相对于一个积极可信的比较器(ACC)进行严格的测试。ACC也是在R34期间开发的，并且 除了拟议的行动机制(培训中央执行工作)外，在所有方面都与CET相同 内存)。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The goal of the current project is to assess the efficacy of Central Executive Training (CET) for youth with ADHD. Consistent with NIMH Strategic Objective #3 and the NIH (1998) Consensus Statement on ADHD, our R34 developed CET to translate clinical neurocognitive findings into a novel clinical protocol that affects ADHD behavioral symptoms by targeting central processes. The final, computerized CET protocol reflects the contributions and feedback of a diverse group of caregivers, children with ADHD, and recognized experts in human cognition, ADHD treatment research, RCT intervention design methods, serious game theory and task design, cognitive training, and the role of executive dysfunction in ADHD. Pilot data suggest considerable promise for improving working memory and ADHD symptoms among youth with ADHD. The current project will provide a rigorous test of CET relative to an active, credible comparator (ACC). ACC was also developed during the R34, and is identical to CET in all regards except the proposed mechanism of action (training central executive working memory).
