Procedure: Computer-based training for cognitive enhancement |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Educational/Counseling/Training, Randomized, Single Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study |
Official Title: | Computer-Based Training for Cognitive Enhancement: Auditory Training in Home, 2-Arm Model |
Estimated Enrollment: | 480 |
The computer-based training program is focused on speech reception to strengthen an individual's memory for speech. This type of training program was chosen because speech perception and memory are crucial elements of human communication and losses in this area are often the first signal of overall cognitive decline.
Subjects meeting eligibility criteria and providing written, informed consent are randomized to one of two 40-session, computerized training programs.
