Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to establish feasibility and provide initial estimates of efficacy of two computerized cognitive training procedures (a form of Positive Mental Imagery Training, PMIT, and a form of Cognitive Control Training, CCT) delivered as adjuncts to treatment as usual (TAU) in inpatient mental health treatment settings.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Positive Mental Imagery Training (PMIT)

Computerized Positive Mental Imagery Training (PMIT), a form of mental imagery-based cognitive bias modification adapted from previous experimental (e.g. Holmes, Lang, \& Shah, 2009) and clinical (e.g. Blackwell \& Holmes, 2010) work. The intervention consists of 8 sessions completed over a period of 2 weeks. The training takes place alongside participants' treatment as usual (TAU) in the inpatient setting.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Positive Mental Imagery Training (PMIT)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Treatment as Usual

Intervention Type OTHER

Cognitive Control Training (CCT)

An adaptive Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT), adapted from that applied in previous studies (e.g. Siegle et al., 2007; Hoorelbeke et al., 2015). The intervention consists of 8 sessions completed over a period of 2 weeks. The training takes place alongside participants' treatment as usual (TAU) in the inpatient setting.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Cognitive Control Training (CCT)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Treatment as Usual

Intervention Type OTHER

Treatment as Usual

Participants will receive their treatment as usual (TAU) within the inpatient setting, which may include group/individual psychological therapy, a range of therapeutic activities, and pharmacological treatment.
