Abstract

This article focuses on the effects of CogMed Computerized Working Memory Training (CCWMT) on mood and self-perception in adults with Chiari Malformation Type I (CM-I) following neurosurgical decompression. CM-I is characterized by displaced cerebellar tonsils and can involve persistent cognitive and neuropsychiatric challenges despite surgery. In a case series of three postoperative patients with self-reported attentional and mood difficulties but normal neurocognitive test results, CCWMT did not significantly change objective attention measures but was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in depression and improved self-perception of functioning. The findings suggest that intensive cognitive remediation may enhance emotional well-being and self-perception, contributing to holistic recovery in CM-I patients beyond measurable cognitive improvements.
