Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary Outcome is the intrinsic motivation induced by the training conditions operationalized by a) subjective enjoyment of the training program (5-point Likert scale: "How much did you enjoy the sessions today?"), b) the number and duration of individually chosen training sessions. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes are: a) the performance in the trained task (e.g. number of correct answers), b) evaluation of subjective enjoyment and effort during the training sessions (5-point Likert scale), c) the performance in standardized neuropsychological tests (MOCA, RWT, VVM), d) demographic variables (age, sex, education), e) etiologic factors (time passed since the injury, etiology, phase of recovery, cognitive deficits), f) experiences with cognitive training and computer based media (5-point Likert scales), g) individual personality factors (BFI-10), h) individual motives and preferred game elements (questionnaires adapted from Tondello et al., 2016), i) evaluation of the implemented game elements/motivational strategies (usability, efficacy). Neuropsychological tests (parameter c) will be assessed at 2 time points: 1. before the beginning of the training phase (max. 1 week in advance; all indicated tests), and 2. after the end of the training phase (max. 1 week later; only RWT and VVM, parallel versions will be applied to control retest effects). | — |
