Patients who do not have tablet, iPad, or computer access are not eligible to participate due to the technical requirements of the computer-based assessments

What this trial measures

  • Prospective Memory Concerns Questionnaire (PMCQ)Day 10 of program, three month follow up

    The Prospective Memory Concerns Questionnaire (PMCQ) is a self-report that includes 3 subscales (Forgetting Behaviors, Memory Concerns, Retrieval Failures) and an event-based prospective memory task where they have to remember to write their handedness in the textbox at the end of the questionnaire. It is meant to assess participants experience with prospective memory tasks in their day to day lives. Item scores range from 0 to 3. Total score Range 0 to 105. Higher scores indicate more prospective memory concerns.

  • Adapted Royal Prince Alfred Prospective Memory Testthree month follow up

    This is a slightly adapted version (ie. using emails instead of posting letters, etc.) of the Royal Prince Alfred Prospective Memory Assessment. It is a lab based but still naturalistic assessment of prospective memory. It involves short term and long term, time and event based prospective memory tasks. Total score range 0 to 12. Higher scores indicate better prospective memory performance.

  • Computerized Prospective Memory Assessment (C-PMAT)Day 10 of program, three month follow-up

    This is a two-part computerized task that will take no more than 25 minutes total. There are two components to the task: the "ongoing" task and the embedded prospective memory task. The ongoing task will be the same for both parts of the task - a letter 2 back. The first part of the task will involve an event-based prospective memory response while the second part will require a time-based prospective memory response. For the event-based part, participants are told to press the letter "N" itself, instead of the "2 back" button of the ongoing task, when the letter "N" is on the screen. In the time-based part, participants will be told to check the time every 100 seconds while completing the ongoing task. There will be 5 total embedded prospective tasks in each part. Total score range is 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate better performance.
