Measuring Brain Changes Following Cognitive Intervention in Pediatric Patients With Brain Tumors
Sponsor: Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc.
Summary
The goal of this study is to learn if an online computerized training program improves processing speed in children with pediatric brain tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the cognitive intervention feasible to administer to children with brain tumors during and after cancer treatment? 2. Is the cognitive intervention acceptable to patients and caregivers? 3. Does the cognitive intervention improve neuropsychological functioning? There is no comparison group for this study. Participants will: 1. Complete 15 minutes of online computerized cognitive training 5 times a week for 8 weeks. 2. Have weekly check-ins with the cognitive coach. 3. Fill out acceptability surveys at the end of the cognitive intervention. 4. Complete pre- and post- neuropsychological testing.

Interventions
Online computerized cognitive training intervention focused on processing speed.
This online cognitive intervention aims to improve processing speed through individualized, computerized cognitive exercises. A cognitive coach selects a set of cognitive exercises for each participant based on identified needs, cognitive ability, and age. Participants complete 15 minutes of training, 5 times per week for 8 weeks, for a target total of approximately 10 hours of training.
