Brain plasticity underlying acquisition of new organizational skills in children: A Rashomon analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify changes in brain functional connectivity (FC) associated with Organizational Skills Training (OST).

Method

In an open, waitlist-controlled, randomized clinical trial (NCT04108273), 51 children aged 8-12 years with deficient organizational skills were assigned to immediate tele-health OST treatment (twice weekly, 10 weeks) or waitlist. We obtained Children's Organizational Skills Scale-Parent version (COSS-P) scores and examined FC changes between dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and preregistered subcortical anterior ventral striatum (aVS) regions-of-interest.

Results

OST produced significantly lower COSS-P scores compared to waitlist, with a large effect size (Cohen's f²
