Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of computerized, home-based cognitive training on sleep quality of older adults with insomnia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants in the cognitive training group train in a computer-based cognitive training program over a period of 12 weeks. An active control group train in a program involving tasks that do not engage high-level cognitive functioning over the same period.

CogniFit Personal Coach® computer cognitive training program. The program provides individually tailored cognitive training based on the results of a baseline evaluation (the Neuropsychological Examination - CogniFit Personal Coach®). The program assigns scores to 17 cognitive abilities that are subsequently trained by means of 21 different tasks.
