Efficacy of adaptive cognitive training through desktop virtual reality and paper-and-pencil in the treatment of mental and behavioral disorders
Publication . Câmara, J.; Ferreira, R.; Teixeira, L.; Nóbrega, J.; Romeira, C.; Bermúdez i Badia, S.; Faria, A. L.
In this work, we will assess and compare two content-equivalent cognitive training (CT) interventions delivered
in desktop virtual reality (VR) (Reh@City v2.0) and paper-and-pencil (Task generator (TG)) formats in a sample
of patients with mental and behavioral disorders. We found that both CT methodologies were associated with
favorable cognitive, mood and quality of life outcomes observed in both the short (immediately after the
intervention) and the long-term (two-months follow-up). We conclude that these CT methods should be viewed as
complementary approaches in the treatment of mental and behavioral disorders.
