Summary:
- This study, conducted by researchers at Tel Aviv University, examined the effects of computerized attention training on a group of 500 combat soldiers.
- The researchers found that the attention training program was able to significantly reduce the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the soldiers.
- This suggests that this type of cognitive training could be a promising intervention for helping individuals who have experienced traumatic events, such as those in military combat, to manage and overcome the psychological impacts of their experiences.
