Description

This doctoral research program consists of three studies that developed and evaluated the effects of a novel web-delivered cognitive training intervention with game elements targeting pain and pain-related health outcomes in adults with chronic pain. The findings of this research have several clinical implications concerning the incorporation of gamification techniques into cognitive training tasks, the use of evaluated linguistic stimuli to investigate the cognitive processing of pain, and the therapeutic application of gamified cognitive training interventions for the management of chronic pain. Recommendations for future research are provided to further expand the existing literature of gamification, cognition, and chronic pain.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
