Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study parameter is the performance on diverse memory tests and on a test designed to measure strategy use. The tests will have high ecological validity, indicating that they measure memory for situations one can encounter in daily life. Memory will be measured before and after treatment. Two post treatment moments will be used: directly after and 6 months after finishing the training.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A secondary study parameter of the study is the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). Moreover questionnaires will be administered, measuring subjective cognitive (CFQ) and memory (MAC-S) complainst, IADL, and quality of life (SF-36). All measurements will be administered at baseline and post treatment. Two post treatment moments will be used: directly after and 6 months after finishing the training.
