Study Arms (2)
Cogmed
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in a 3,5 week vocational rehabilitation program (containing cognitive therapy and physical exercise) are instructed to use a computer-based working memory training program (named CogMed) each weekday (5 days a week) for 5 weeks. Each training session consists of 8 different tasks and lasts 40-50 minutes.
Control group
ACTIVE COMPARATORThese subjects will participate in the vocational rehabilitation program for 3,5 weeks. The program includes cognitive therapy (ACT) and physical activity, but no working memory training.
