AAAbigail C. AngkawMCMorgan CaudleAJAmy J. Jak

Key Points

  • The research aims to explore how pretraining neural and neuropsychological measures relate to response in working memory training for veterans with PTSD.
  • Identified veterans with PTSD and executive functioning impairments
  • Administered working memory training program
  • Conducted neuropsychological and neuroimaging assessments
  • Veterans with specific neuropsychological profiles showed better response to working memory training
  • Indicators from neuroimaging assessments correlated with training effectiveness

Abstract

WMT may be a promising alternative PTSD treatment for Veterans with EF impairments. Patients likely to benefit from WMT could be identified using a combination of neuropsychological and neuroimaging assessments, but further research is needed to confirm these indicators.
