In accordance with neuropsychological findings, that chronic alcohol abuse can lead to cognitive impairment, a multi-phased cognitive training program (MKT) developed by Sagstetter was conducted with a group of chronic alcoholic patients. In this article this program is introduced and evaluated with regard to chronic alcoholic patients and their improvement in certain cognitive functions. The study group consisted of 11 chronic alcoholics, who regularly took part in the program. The control group consisted of 11 patients who took part on a behavior therapy program offered by the clinic and had similar social and pathological histories to those of the study group. The two groups were compared with each other with the help of a follow-up study design after approximately seven weeks. The results reveal that this present cognitive training program promotes, above all, cognitive functions such as visual short-time memory, concentration, form perception as well as combination and organisation ability.
根据神经心理学研究结果，长期酗酒会导致认知障碍，萨格施泰特开发了一个多阶段认知训练项目（MKT），并对一组慢性酒精中毒患者进行了该项目。在本文中，将针对慢性酒精中毒患者及其在某些认知功能方面的改善情况对该项目进行介绍和评估。研究组由11名经常参加该项目的慢性酗酒者组成。对照组由11名参加了诊所提供的行为治疗项目且社会和病史与研究组相似的患者组成。在大约七周后，借助随访研究设计对两组进行了相互比较。结果显示，目前这个认知训练项目首先促进了诸如视觉短时记忆、注意力、形状感知以及组合和组织能力等认知功能。
