Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cognitive deficits are a nuclear feature of several psychiatric disorders, leading to a decrease in functional abilities and quality of life. Besides facilitating the inclusion of more ecologically valid stimuli and training tasks, technology-based cognitive training methods allow more dynamic interactions with the cognitive training content, which can result in an enhancement of patients' motivation and engagement in the therapeutic process. The modality of interaction with the cognitive training content may influence patients' response to cognitive training interventions. For instance, cognitive training through the tablet requires essentially hand movements (e.g., interaction with the training tasks by touching the correct stimuli), while cognitive training through the Kinect involves the performance of wide range movements (e.g., interaction with the training tasks by making specific "body" movements to select the correct stimuli). This study aims to analyze which cognitive training experimental condition - Tablet versus Kinect - results in greater cognitive, mood, quality of life, and functional gains in a sample of chronic psychiatric patients.

Study Groups

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

Kinect-based cognitive training

Standard treatment protocol and 14 sessions (biweekly during 30 minutes) of Kinect-based cognitive training inspired by instrumental activities of daily living.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kinect-based cognitive training

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The Kinect-based group will be involved in the standard treatment protocol and will perform a 14-sessions cognitive training program that consists of instrumental activities of daily living simulations. The cognitive training content will be projected onto a wall and patients will interact with the content, i.e., the selection of the appropriate response, through movement (kinect).

Tablet-based cognitive training

Standard treatment protocol and 14 sessions (biweekly during 30 minutes) of Tablet-based cognitive training inspired by instrumental activities of daily living.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tablet-based cognitive training

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The Tablet-based group will be involved in the standard treatment protocol and will perform a 14-sessions cognitive training program that consists of instrumental activities of daily living simulations. Patients will interact with the cognitive training content through a tablet.
