“…Given the close associations between EF, processing speed, and intelligence (M. Anderson, 1992Anderson, , 20012017), recent research has examined the possibility of training EFs, particularly working memory, in an attempt to increase gF (e.g., Jaeggi, Buschkuehl, Jonides, & Perrig, 2008). Alternatively, investigating the effectiveness of neurofeedback training in this group could be of benefit (Landes et al, 2017). Although processing speed is likely to be a biological constraint that is 'untrainable', EFs are likely to be subject to training a developmental change.…”

“…The technology provides bipolar asymmetry training, during which regulates the distribution of frequencies of different intensity. For example, multidirectional changes in the relative EEG intensity in the brain hemispheres can cause enhancement of cognitive activity and attention processes (Putman, 2005), as well as improvement of executive functions (Kim et al, 2013;Landes et al, 2017). Studies have shown that the effectiveness of biofeedback is determined by many factors such as: motivation (Kleinman, 1981;Saho & Harano, 1984), training (Keefe & Gardner, 1979), respiration (Conde Pastor et al, 2008), and some individual characteristics (Suter, 1979;Li et al, 2019).…”

In the current pilot study, we attempt to find out how double neurofeedback influences functional hemispheric asymmetry and activity. We examined 30 healthy participants (8 males; 22 females, mean age = 29; SD= 8). To measure functional hemispheric asymmetry and activity, we used computer laterometry in the ‘two-source’ lead-lag dichotic paradigm. Double biofeedback included 8 minutes of EEG oscillation recording with five minutes of basic mode. During the basic mode, the current amplitude of the EEG oscillator gets transformed into feedback sounds while the current amplitude of alpha EEG oscillator is used to modulate the intensity of light signals. Double neurofeedback did not directly influence the asymmetry itself but accelerated individual sound perception characteristics during dichotic listening in the preceding effect paradigm. Further research is needed to investigate the effect of double neurofeedback training on functional brain activity and asymmetry taking into account participants’ age, gender, and motivation.

“…29 Search terms for childhood-onset disabilities, including neurodevelopmental disorders, were derived from a combination of search terms from a previous systematic review on vocational interventions for young adults with childhood-onset disabilities, 51 the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, 38 the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, 52 and a Cochrane systematic review on neurodevelopmental disorders. 53 The search strategy for Medline can be found in the Supplemental Information. Additional articles were identified by scanning the reference lists of included studies.…”

Transitional Care Interventions for Youth With Disabilities: A Systematic Review

CONTEXT: Transition from the pediatric to the adult health care system is a complex process that should include medical, psychosocial, educational, recreational, and vocational considerations. OBJECTIVE: In this systematic review, we aim to synthesize the evidence on transitional care interventions (TCIs) to improve the quality of life (QoL) for adolescents and young adults with childhood-onset disabilities, including neurodevelopmental disorders. DATA SOURCES: Four electronic databases (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) were searched. STUDY SELECTION: In the included studies, researchers examined TCIs for adolescents and young adults (12-24 years of age) with childhood-onset disabilities. Studies were experimental, quasi-experimental, and observational studies published in the last 26 years. DATA EXTRACTION: Two reviewers independently completed study screening, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment. RESULTS: Fifty-two studies were included. Five studies reported on QoL, but statistically significant improvements were noted in only 1 of these studies. Significant improvements were also found in secondary outcomes including disability-related knowledge and transitional readiness. TCIs targeted patients, families and/or caregivers, and health care providers and exhibited great heterogeneity in their characteristics and components. LIMITATIONS: Inconsistent reporting on interventions between studies hindered synthesis of the relationships between specific intervention characteristics and outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Although there is limited evidence on the impact of TCIs on the QoL for youth with childhood-onset disabilities, there is indication that they can be effective in improving patient and provider outcomes. The initiation of transition-focused care at an early age may contribute to improved long-term health outcomes in this population.
