Data collected from a randomised control trial in a community stroke sample, designed to examine the efficacy of 1 month of daily training using either a novel attention training battery or novel working memory training battery compared to waitlist controls. The study was funded by the stroke association (grant number TSA 2013/06) and was preregistered as a clinical trial (ISRCTN59754564). Measures of cognition (attention, working memory, fluid and crystallised intelligence, and other neuropsych measures), and disability (EQ-5D-5L) and everyday functioning (EBIQ) were taken pre, post and three months after training or waitlist.
