Cognitive Training Working Memory Inhibitory Contorl

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called BID WM Digital Intervention in Aging, is looking to see if using a digital program can help improve brain function in older adults. Specifically, the researchers want to find out if this program can enhance working memory (the ability to hold and manipulate information) and inhibitory control (the ability to control impulses). Participants will engage with one of two different digital interventions over a period of up to 8 weeks and will complete a series of cognitive tests and surveys before, immediately after, and six months after the program to see if there are any improvements.

To participate, individuals should be between 12 and 100 years old, have at least 12 years of education, and be fluent in English. They should also have normal vision (or corrected vision) and be medically healthy, including those who might have mild cognitive issues but do not have dementia. However, people under 60, those with certain neurological or psychiatric conditions, or those who have been diagnosed with dementia are not eligible. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it offers a chance for eligible older adults to potentially benefit their cognitive health while contributing to important research.
