“…It is possible that current interventions do not match the capacities of crack users; therefore, studies focusing on WM training combined with motivational interviewing might help improve executive functioning in cocaine dependents. 16 In addition, WM training has been found to help improve inhibitory control in stimulant addicts. 17 In summary, participants with crack-cocaine dependence, despite their younger age, exhibited almost the same WM performance of participants over the age of 60, whereas healthy, young adults performed significantly better.…”

Objective: To compare the working memory (WM) performance of young adult crack-cocaine dependent users, healthy older adults, and a control group of healthy young adults. Methods: A total of 77 female participants took part in this study: 26 young adult crack-cocaine dependent users (CRK), 19 healthy older adults (HO), and 32 healthy younger adults (HC). All participants completed the N-back verbal task. Results: A multivariate analysis of covariance was performed. The model included education, income, and medication use as covariates. A group effect (F 6,140 = 7.192, p o 0.001) was found. Post-hoc analyses showed that the performance of the CRK and HO groups was reduced compared to the HC group in two N-back conditions. No differences between the HO and CRK groups on WM performance were found. Conclusions: CRK participants perform similar to HO participants on a WM task, despite the wellknown effects of age on WM and the young age of CRK. These data point to a possible parallel between cognitive declines associated with crack use and developmental aging.

“…Board games were already used to improve cognitive functioning with stimulating results [29,30]. Moreover our preliminary study with substance dependents showed a reduction on impulsivity and working memory with chess game demonstrating the feasibility of this tool in the neuropsychological rehabilitation [31]. Efficacy studies should be performed to verify the effects of cognitive stimulation in improving executive functioning of patients and in the process of relapse prevention.…”

Introduction: Executive Dysfunction (ED) is associated with difficulties in daily life and poor treatment adherence in individuals with neurological and psychiatric disorders. The aim of this paper is to present an update of Executive Function (EF) Rehabilitation Techniques. Methods: We performed a comprehensive literature review using the following keywords: executive function, mental disorders and rehabilitation in the PubMed, specific journals and books. Results: There is evidence of improvement of EF using some rehabilitation techniques, such as goal planning, goal management training, problem solving training, verbalization, drill and practice approach, metacognitive strategy instruction, computer-assisted training and neurofeedback. However, impact of rehabilitation on daily life remains poorly understood. Conclusion: Executive Dysfunction (ED) may be remediated and/or compensated at a certain degree by neuropsychological rehabilitation, but there is still a great challenge in this area based on how to measure effectiveness of EF interventions on daily life. There is a need for the development of new and/or combined techniques (i.e., pharmacological treatment, deep-brain stimulation) for a broader impact on quality of life for patients.

“…O Xadrez Motivacional (XM) consiste em um novo modelo no qual se utiliza o jogo de xadrez como uma ferramenta para promover a estimulação de funções cognitivas, desde as mais simples até as mais complexas, aliada a técnicas de Entrevista Motivacional (EM) com o intuito de generalizar situações que ocorreram no jogo para situações de vida diária (Gonçalves et al, 2014b).…”

“…(Gonçalves et al, 2014b). A inserção dessa mediação foi fundamental para estimular a generalização da aprendizagem restrita ao jogo para as reflexões e o desenvolvimento de estratégias a serem aplicadas na vida diária, uma vez que (a melhoria cognitiva proporcionada pelo xadrez), por si só, parece não produzir impacto (nas funções de vida diária) nas funções cognitivas de uma maneira geral (Unterrainer et al, 2011).…”
