Conners Parent Rating Scale

Computer-Assisted Cognitive Training for ADHD A Case Study

A computer-assisted cognitive training program was used to treat a 13-year-old Caucasian male with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The subject was administered a cognitive training computer program, Captain's Log, for 35 sessions. Pre/post differences on the Conners Parent Rating Scale revealed a decrease on all subscales. The scores on the Conners Teacher Rating Scale were less conclusive. Electrophysiological testing on the A620 EEG/Neurofeedback revealed a reduction in EMG, theta, and beta wave amplitudes. However, the theta/beta ratio increased. A 7-month follow-up revealed that most of the acquired gains were maintained, but at a slightly lower level.
