Comparing a new visuospatial intervention administered 3 days after a trauma film to reduce the occurrence of intrusive visual memories: a single-center randomized, controlled trial in healthy participants
Our results suggest that visuospatial tasks other than <i>Tetris</i>-in this case, <i>Mobilum</i>-can also lead to a reduction in intrusive memories when administered 3 days after a trauma film. This strengthens the assumption that it is not specifically the game <i>Tetris</i>, but rather the visuospatial nature of the task, that is responsible for the reduction. Aspects of further investigating the potential of <i>Mobilum</i> as well as clinical implications are discussed.
