What is Computer-Based Cognitive Training (CBCT)?

Computer-Based Cognitive Training (CBCT) is a program that systematically trains specific cognitive abilities — including attention, memory, executive function, and processing speed — using digital devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones.

Just as physical exercise improves fitness through repeated use of the body, CBCT is grounded in the theory of neuroplasticity: the idea that cognitive abilities can be maintained or improved through deliberate and structured use of the brain.

At ConnectedMind Cognitive Science Institute, we use CBCT programs and visual-perceptual training tools to deliver individually tailored cognitive training.

Training Principles

  1. Difficulty automatically adjusts to the individual’s cognitive level
  2. Trains multiple cognitive domains: attention, working memory, processing speed, executive function
  3. Performance is quantitatively recorded to track training progress
  4. Structured protocol for systematic cognitive rehabilitation

Applications

  • ADHD and learning difficulties
  • Cognitive function decline
  • Need for improved processing speed and working memory
  • Children and adults seeking focused attention training
