This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a computer-based working memory training program can help Veterans with PTSD benefit more from exposure therapy—a proven treatment that helps people process traumatic memories. Researchers believe that strengthening your brain's ability to hold and work with information (called working memory) may help you learn to manage fear responses more effectively during therapy.
Many Veterans with PTSD don't fully recover even with current treatments like exposure therapy. This research explores whether boosting a specific brain function called working memory could improve how well the therapy works, helping more people achieve lasting symptom relief.

You will complete 8 remote computer training sessions over 4 weeks—some participants will use a program designed to strengthen working memory, while others will use a similar but less demanding program. You'll also have two brain imaging scans (MRI), one before training begins and one after it ends. The entire study takes about a month of your time.
