The impact of neurocognitive temporal training on reaction time and running memory of U.S. active duty personnel

Abstract

Battlefields are dynamic environments that require robust cognitive skills and rapid responses. Temporal (timing and rhythm) training may improve coordination and cognition. This study examined Soldiers’ reaction times and working memory following neurocognitive temporal training. Forty-two soldier volunteers were assigned to either a temporal training intervention (TTI) group (n = 19) or a control (n = 23) group. Outcome measures were simple reaction time (SRT) and running memory continuous performance (RMCP). No significant difference were found in group, time, or group x time (p
