Summary

This study tests whether adding computerized memory drills to standard treatment helps veterans remember to do things later, like taking medication or keeping appointments. About 75 veterans will either get standard memory training or standard training plus memory drills. Researchers will check memory skills and concerns at the start, end, and three months after treatment.
