About this study

Official title: Study of Individual Neurocognitive Changes Associated With the Training of the Working Memory(SAMPLEX)

8 participants including 2 pilots. The 2 pilot participants will each execute an MRI acquisition session in order to adjust the experimental paradigm

Read the detailed description

The participants will benefit from a comprehensive training program in the Memory of the taught by the computerized CogMed method. This training showed a positive effect for improve the skills in Memory of the working in the healthy subject

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Working memory performance - Cogmed

    Cognitive trajectories will be characterized using performance measures derived from the home-based training.

    Measured: 5 week.

  2. Working memory performance - CANTAB

    Cognitive trajectories will be characterized using performance measures derived from the Spatial Span (SSP) task from the CANTAB battery, administered under standardized conditions at GHU Paris Psychiatry and Neurosciences.

    Measured: 2 week

  3. Multimodal MRI data

    Multimodal MRI data - including anatomical, resting-state, working memory (WM) task-based functional, and diffusion-weighted sequences - will be acquired repeatedly over a six-week period during WM training, as well as before and after the training phase.

    Measured: 2 week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. executive functions performance

    To enable complementary analyses of non-trained executive functions (EF), the participant will complete three tasks from the NIH Toolbox Cognitive Battery.

    Measured: 1 week

  2. behavioral variables

    At baseline, we will collect demographic and cognitive information including age, sex, years of education, and baseline cognitive performance. In addition, we will record a set of covariates related to the participant's state during the scanning session and within the 24 hours preceding each training session.

    Measured: 5 week for most variables
