Scientists at Kessler Foundation reported results from a randomized controlled trial examining the influence of processing speed on treatment benefits of the Kessler Foundation modified Story Memory Technique (KF-mSMT) in individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc.Aug 25 2023 Scientists at Kessler Foundation reported results from a randomized controlled trial examining the influence of processing speed on treatment benefits of the Kessler Foundation modified Story Memory Technique in individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury . They found that processing speed played a role in benefit from the KF-mSMT on a list learning task, but not on a prose memory task.
Individuals with TBI often sustain a variety of cognitive impairments including deficits in attention, processing speed, executive functions, and memory. These impairments can have substantial negative effects on their abilities to function in everyday life. For example, impairments in processing speed and memory are recognized as specific obstacles to maintaining meaningful employment.
We found that processing speed was significantly associated with the efficacy of the KF-mSMT on the task of verbal list learning. In contrast, we saw no association with prose memory, a finding that is interesting to consider." "Verbal list learning requires patients to organize the information to be learned on their own, while the prose memory task is pre-organized," Dr. Chiaravalloti stated. "Unlike prose memory, list learning requires more effort and attention, as well as processing speed, to execute effectively. This may explain the differential influence of processing speed between these tasks."
