Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study verified the effects of cognitive training aimed at improving the ability of independent living activities and supporting employment among correctional facility inmates, especially those with borderline intelligence.Methods tested the effects of a 3-month program of 15 weekly sessions among juvenile boys and relatively young adult inmates.The results showed that only the intervention group had a significant improvement in the logical memory task of the WMS-R in which the control group was set.The ability to listen to others' stories is particularly important in the working setting, with results indicating the effectiveness of the cognitive enhancement intervention program, which is the purpose of this study.Three key points throughout the study were ① slow processing speed, ② weak ability to listen to words and documents, and ③ weak ability to generate visual imagery.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究から発展した成果の一部は、法務省矯正局に報告書「就労移行準備指導モデルプログラム」として提出済みである。報告書では、本研究により再犯防止推進計画の7つの重点課題のうち「就労・住居の確保」の中にあげられている「一般就労と福祉的支援の狭間にある者の就労の確保」に応じた課題を提案することに繋がった。令和5年度より、全国の若年受刑者を対象に研究成果の妥当性を検証する。境界知能者が必ずしも再犯を犯すリスクがあるわけではないが、我が国ではこの分野の研究はほとんど行われていないため、本研究が矯正施設における境界知能者の処遇の改善に繋がる可能性がある。(矯正教育研究第67巻に掲載済み)
