Goal Management Training (GMT) for Improvement of Cognitive Control Function After Acquired Brain Injury

"Participants will receive Goal Management Training in groups of 4-6 patients, as implemented in a rehabilitation hospital setting (St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim University Hospital). The standard treatment (GMT Usual) consists of 10 sessions, delivered as 2 sessions a day, one day per week, over 5 weeks."

"The participants will receive extended cuing through a smartphone application (GMT Cuing) - intended to facilitate the effect of between-session tasks (homework) completed by the participants. These participants will, in addition to the standard treatment (as in GMT Usual), on a daily basis receive a message that says STOP as a reminder to do their home assignments. An sms with the the text STOP; as a reminder everyday from the third session until the fifth session. The message is pseudorandomly sent on different timepoints ranging from 11am to 8pm, including in weekends."

"After completion of the 10 GMT sessions and the first post-treatment assessment immediately after the main treatment period, the participants will receive an additional booster module (GMT Boost) 3 months after the last ordinary GMT module - intended to facilitate a prolonged treatment response."
