Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly being used as a cognitive intervention tool, with significant effectiveness demonstrated in different types of populations. Methods: This pilot study aims to investigate the impact of a cognitive training program utilizing VR on young adults diagnosed with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDDs). The participants (N = 15) served as their own control group and were assessed three times: weeks 0, 8, and 16, with a rest period (0\u20138 weeks) and an intervention period (8\u201316 weeks). The assessments included measures of cognitive function provided by E-Prime\u00ae (Version 3). Results: Overall, an improvement in working memory and inhibitory control was found after the intervention, but not in sustained attention. Conclusions: These findings suggest that VR-based cognitive training holds promise as an effective intervention for enhancing cognitive abilities in young adults with intellectual developmental disabilities. This study provides a foundation for future investigations into VR\u2019s role in cognitive rehabilitation and its potential to support daily living skills and overall quality of life for individuals with IDDs. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and broader applicability of VR interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare12171705","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,26]],"date-time":"2024-08-26T10:01:51Z","timestamp":1724666511000},"page":"1705","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Impact of VR-Based Cognitive Training on Working Memory and Inhibitory Control in IDD Young Adults"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4439-7196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Jo\u00e3o","family":"Trigueiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o Psicossocial (LabRP), Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o (CIR), Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade (E2S), Polytechnic of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Joana","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o Psicossocial (LabRP), Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o (CIR), Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade (E2S), Polytechnic of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2831-9729","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V\u00edtor","family":"Sim\u00f5es-Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o Psicossocial (LabRP), Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o (CIR), Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade (E2S), Polytechnic of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1543-6582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruno Bastos","family":"Vieira de Melo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o Psicossocial (LabRP), Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o (CIR), Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade (E2S), Polytechnic of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Occupational Therapy Technical and Scientific Area, Santa Maria Health School, 4049-024 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4703-1712","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Sim\u00f5es de Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o Psicossocial (LabRP), Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o (CIR), Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade (E2S), Polytechnic of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8656-5023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o Psicossocial (LabRP), Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o (CIR), Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade (E2S), Polytechnic of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association (2022).
