Study Summary

The proposed study will test the efficacy of a cognitive training program to improve working memory in a sample of HIV-infected persons. Investigators will assign 40 HIV-infected adults with poor medication adherence to one of two conditions (20/group): the experimental cognitive training intervention or a control training condition. Participants will complete 12 training sessions across 10 weeks and will complete assessments at baseline and post-training. The specific aims are to: 1. Investigate the effects of the cognitive training intervention on working memory and delay discounting in HIV-infected persons. Hypothesis 1: Participants assigned to active cognitive training, compared to those in the attention-matched control group, will have greater improvements in working memory and reductions in delay discounting. 2. Characterize adherence to antiretroviral medications in this population and examine medication adherence after cognitive training. Hypothesis 2: Participants assigned to active cognitive training, compared to those in the attention-matched control group, will have greater improvements in medication adherence.

Primary Outcome

Standardized neuropsychological tests of working memory used in this study were the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task-50 and Neuropsychological Assessment Battery Digits Forward/Digits Backward Test. Using the most up-to-date published normative data, raw test scores were converted to T-scores that corrected for demographic factors such as age and education. T scores can range from 0 to 100, with 50 being average and higher scores indicating better function. The overall working memory score wa
