Improving Cognition and Behavior in Pediatric Cancer Survivors Using a Novel Mindful Attention Training

This pilot study will evaluate the cognitive and behavioral outcomes of using a novel, adaptive attention training in pediatric cancer survivors.

Pediatric cancer survivors (PCS) often experience attentional difficulties that have downstream effects on their quality of life, academic achievement, and future occupational attainment. As such, the primary goal of this project is to examine the outcomes of a novel, mindful attention training in this population. Specifically, PCS will be randomly assigned to one of two adaptive attention training groups ('Engage') and complete tasks on the device for up to 8 weeks. Participants will also complete pre- and post-training assessments of cognition and behavior. The investigators hypothesize that completion of 'Engage' training will result in enhanced attentional control beyond the active comparator group that extends to other aspects of cognition in PCS.
