    With modularity, interoperability, and openness as guiding principles, Next Generation Library Publishing (NGLP), is developing library publishing resources that combine the values alignment of open source software with the convenience of turnkey publishing and repository solutions. The project is simultaneously building interoperable software components tailored to the unique needs of library publishers and designing business and governance models, values-based assessment frameworks, and pilot implementations that will bring our code to life. This is a test instance undergoing active development.

    Objective

    To investigate the long-term efficacy of computerized cognitive training in improving cognitive outcomes among childhood cancer survivors.

    Methods

    Sixty-eight survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or brain tumor (BT) were randomly assigned to computerized cognitive intervention (23 ALL/11 BT, age = 12.21 ± 2.47) or a waitlist control group (24 ALL/10 BT, age = 11.82 ± 2.42). Cognitive assessments were completed pre-, immediately post-, and 6 months postintervention.

    Results

    A prior report showed training led to immediate improvement in working memory, attention and processing speed. In the current study, piecewise linear mixed effects modeling revealed that working memory and processing speed were unchanged from immediate to 6 months postintervention (intervention β = −.04 to .01, p = .26 to .95; control β = −.06 to .01, p = .23–.97), but group differences on an attention measure did not persist. Conclusion Cognitive benefits are maintained 6 months following computerized cognitive training, adding to potential clinical utility of this intervention approach.
