An Investigation of Chemotherapy Induced Cognitive Impairments in Breast Cancer Survivors

The program is designed to improve processing speed of auditory information and attention. The BFP is comprised of six computerized subtests that continuously adjust in the level of difficulty to maintain an 85% correct response rate. The subtest exercises include discrimination of confusable syllables, recognition of sequences of syllables, matching pairs of confusable syllables, reconstruction of sequences of verbal instructions and identification of details in a verbally presented story. Participants will participate in 40 one-hour training sessions over a 12 week period to complete all cognitive remediation training sessions. Since this intervention is presented both visually and verbally, noise cancelling headphones will be provided to the participants.
