About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Alcohol use disorder is characterized by widespread neurocognitive impairments, however despite substantial advances in the intervention and treatment of alcohol use disorders, exceptionally few studies have been directed to improving these deficits. This project leverages computerized cognitive training, applied as an adjunct to inpatient treatment, to enhance neurocognitive recovery. This project informs public health and future intervention efforts by interrogating factors critical to intervention efficacy and clarifying relationships between neurocognitive recovery and treatment outcomes, including post-discharge alcohol consumption.
The 4 groups in the trial
- Working Memory Training (WM)Treatment being tested
Participants complete training in a working memory task designed to utilize individually-adapted difficulty levels.
Treatment: Working Memory Training
- Inhibitory Control Training (IC)Treatment being tested
Participants complete training in an inhibitory control task designed to utilize individually-adapted difficulty levels.
Treatment: Inhibitory Control Training
- Bias Modification Training (BM)Existing treatment, for comparison
Participants complete training in an active comparator task designed to weaken approach responses to alcohol-associated cues.
Treatment: Bias Modification Training
- Non-Trained control (NTC)No study treatment, for comparison
No active intervention is delivered beyond typical care.
