Abstract
Session presented on Thursday, September 25, 2014:
Despite the life-sustaining effects of Combination Antiretroviral Therapy (cART), adults with HIV continue to experience neurocognitive impairments. In fact, over half of adults with HIV experience HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND). As neurocognitive impairments continue to emerge among adults with HIV, more private settings such as the home may facilitate greater use of neurocognitive remediation therapies such as speed of processing training to enhance neurocognitive and everyday functioning. The efficacy of a home-based speed of processing training was examined in middle-aged and older adults with HIV (i.e., age 40+).
