About this trial

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of digital intelligence games on visual and cognitive performance in young individuals with intellectual disabilities. Participants aged 18-35 years receiving services from EÇADEM in Istanbul will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving digital intelligence game training using the MentalUP application or a control group receiving routine services. Visual memory and cognitive performance will be assessed using the Benton Visual Retention Test and the Standardized Mini Mental Test at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. The study will investigate the short- and long-term effects of digital cognitive training on visual and cognitive functioning.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Change in visual memory performance

Visual memory performance will be assessed using the Benton Visual Retention Test (BVRT). The BVRT evaluates visual perception, visual memory, and visuoconstructive abilities by asking participants to identify previously presented geometric figures. Scores range from 0 to 15, with higher scores indicating better visual memory performance.

Time frame

Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months

Change in cognitive performance

Cognitive performance will be evaluated using the Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT). The SMMT assesses orientation, attention, memory, language, and visuospatial abilities. Scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive functioning.

Time frame

Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after baseline.
