Interventions
Participants randomized to the VST condition will play a visuospatial game (i.e., Tetris). Participants will be given two minutes to practice Tetris and then will be instructed to play for 15 minutes without stopping.
Participants randomized to the WAT condition will play a word association game. Research staff members will read from a list of 300 words, not associated with trauma, to the participant. The participant will verbally respond to each word out loud with the first word that comes to their mind. This word association task will continue for 15 minutes or until all 300 words are read, whichever occurs first.
