This feasibility study investigated the viability of implementing a cognitive-based training program (NeuroTracker) and assessing its potential effects on academic performance for adolescents with extremely low IQ. Twenty-six adolescents aged between 11 and 16 years with a Wechsler-based IQs in the extremely low range (MIQ = 56.00, SDIQ = 13.89) completed 15 training sessions on either the NeuroTracker or an active control task; math and reading performance were assessed using clinically validated instruments before and after training. Recruitment and retention rates, adherence, and properties of the academic measures were assessed. All recruited participants completed 15 training sessions within a 6-week period. Eighty-three percent of participants meeting initial inclusion criteria completed all stages of the study from baseline to post-intervention assessments. Some limitations of the academic measures were identified. Results suggest that implementing NeuroTracker as a classroom-based intervention and using clinically validated outcome measures is feasible with this population.

评估针对智商极低学生的学术界的基于课堂的视觉注意力训练计划的可行性


这项可行性研究调查了实施基于认知的培训计划（NeuroTracker）的可行性，并评估了其对智商极低青少年学业成绩的潜在影响。 26 名年龄在 11 至 16 岁之间、基于韦克斯勒的智商处于极低范围（MIQ = 56.00，SDIQ = 13.89）的青少年完成了 15 次关于 NeuroTracker 或主动控制任务的培训课程；在训练前后使用经过临床验证的仪器评估数学和阅读成绩。对招募率和保留率、遵守率以及学术措施的性质进行了评估。所有招募的参与者在 6 周内完成了 15 次培训课程。符合初始纳入标准的参与者中有 83% 完成了从基线到干预后评估的所有研究阶段。确定了学术措施的一些局限性。结果表明，将 NeuroTracker 实施为基于课堂的干预措施并使用经过临床验证的结果测量对于该人群是可行的。
