While adaptive cognitive training is beneficial for women with a breast cancer diagnosis, transfer effects of training benefits on perceived and objective measures of cognition are not substantiated. We investigated the transfer effects of online adaptive cognitive training (dual n-back training) on subjective and objective cognitive markers in a longitudinal design.
Women with a primary diagnosis of breast cancer completed 12 sessions of adaptive cognitive training or active control training over 2 weeks. Objective assessments of working memory capacity (WMC), as well as performance on a response inhibition task, were taken while electrophysiological measures were recorded. Self-reported measures of cognitive and emotional health were collected pre-training, post-training, 6-month, and at 1-year follow-up times.
Adaptive cognitive training resulted in greater WMC on the Change Detection Task and improved cognitive efficiency on the Flanker task together with improvements in perceived cognitive ability and depression at 1-year post-training.
Adaptive cognitive training can improve cognitive abilities with implications for long-term cognitive health in survivorship.
适应性认知训练有益于乳腺癌诊断后的女性，但训练益处的转移效应在认知的感知和客观测量上尚未得到证实。我们采用纵向设计，研究了在线自适应认知训练（双 n 回训练）对主观和客观认知指标的转移效应。
患有乳腺癌初诊的女性在 2 周内完成 12 节适应性认知训练或主动控制训练。在记录脑电图测量的同时，对工作记忆容量（WMC）的客观评估，以及对反应抑制任务的表现进行了评估。在训练前、训练后、6 个月和 1 年随访时收集了自我报告的认知和情绪健康测量结果。
适应性认知训练可使变化检测任务的 WMC 增加，并改善 Flanker 任务的认知效率，同时在训练 1 年后提高认知能力和抑郁感。
适应性认知训练可以提高认知能力，对生存者的长期认知健康有影响。
