Hypothesis
Individuals who have undergone CFDT would show improved cognitive measures as determined by analysis of the primary cognitive functions (PCFs).
Conclusion
The study suggests that CFDT improves cognitive performance and may also enhance neurophysiological measures of cognition.
Supporting Evidence
- PCF scores significantly increased from pre- to post-treatment.
- CFDT showed a significant effect on cognitive performance measures.
- Age was found to negatively correlate with cognitive improvement.
- Neurophysiological measures indicated changes in P300 amplitude.
Takeaway
This study shows that a special therapy can help people think better and remember things more easily.
Methodology
The study analyzed real-world data from 183 clients undergoing CFDT, measuring cognitive performance before and after treatment.
Potential Biases
Potential bias due to the retrospective design and the diverse range of diagnoses among participants.
Limitations
The study's retrospective nature limits the interpretation of results, and it did not include diagnosis as a predictive variable.
Participant Demographics
The sample included 183 participants, with a mean age of 23 years, and 86 females.
