Memory and Attention Adaptation Training-Geriatrics (MAAT-G)

Memory and Attention Adaptation Training (MAAT) is a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)-based intervention for CRCD. As a CBT-based intervention, MAAT focuses on an individual's psychological response to injury as compared to the biological events triggering CRCD. MAAT is a series of manualized workshops delivered by a psychologist via video-conferencing, supplemented by a participant workbook, which provide instruction and practice with adaptive behavioral coping skills, stress management techniques, and compensation strategies. MAAT-G has been adapted to optimize usability. We are now testing the feasibility of MAAT-G in older cancer survivors with Mild Cognitive Impairment.
