What the study is about

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if engaging with an digital intervention may improve cognitive function. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does engagement in with a digital intervention improve working memory?
  • Does engagement in with a digital intervention improve inhibitory control?

Researchers will compare two different digital interventions to assess whether they may be helpful in improving cognitive function.

Participants will conduct study activities remotely (e.g., at-home):

  • Baseline Assessment. Complete a series of cognitive assessments and surveys.
  • Intervention. Engage in a digital intervention for up to 8 weeks.
  • Post Intervention Assessment. Complete the same cognitive assessments and surveys as the Baseline Assessment.
  • Follow-Up Assessment. Six months after the intervention ends, participants will complete the same cognitive assessments and surveys as the Baseline Assessment.

Being studied: Coherence; Worder

Conditions: Working Memory; Inhibitory Control; Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI); Aging
