The BCAT®  Interventions are widely used by a variety of professionals as part of therapeutic skilled services, life enrichment programming, and as part of a cognitive health and wellness program to maintain brain health. 

Working memory is the ability to mentally hold and manipulate information over a short period of time.  You might think of it as a cognitive “workspace” in which we temporarily store information we hear, see, or feel (tactile) in order to do something with it.  From a functional perspective, working memory is a foundational cognitive skill that allows one to successfully perform IADLs and ADLs. Reduced or impaired working memory means that one cannot efficiently make new memories and may be limited in performing daily life tasks. Improvement in working memory can improve cognition and function. 

For professionals, The BCAT® Working Memory Exercise Book - Professional Edition is a powerful treatment tool, linked to the BCAT® Test System, to improve cognition and function.

Included in The BCAT® Professional License is access to The Digital Working Memory Exercise Platform. This online program provides access to a variety of interactive cognitive exercises that target attention, memory, and executive control functions. We refer to this triad as the "cognitive task manager", as these combined skills are often used for  everyday functioning. This evidence-based program offers hundreds of combinations of both basic and complex cognitive exercises and can be used as part of a cognitive rehabilitation program designed to return the patient to baseline, to improve cognitive performance, or to promote positive cognitive functioning while buffering against cognitive decline.

 

The Cognitive Exercise Suite is ideal for rehabilitation therapists and can promote positive rehab outcomes in occupational therapy and speech therapy. It can also be used effectively by adults in their home setting or by activities professionals offering 1:1 or group programming to target the cognitive skills that support independent living and aging in place.
