Summary
This trial will use a computerized brain training program to see if it can improve memory in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 55-85 with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), who have memory concerns but not severe dementia or Alzheimer's. Participants must be in good health, not pregnant, and fluent in English. They need a study partner available to assist during the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a computer program designed to improve memory by using exercises that stimulate brain plasticity. It aims to see if regular use of this cognitive training can enhance memory function in those with MCI.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves cognitive exercises on a computer, side effects are minimal but may include eye strain or headache from screen time, and potential frustration or stress related to the tasks.
