Brief Summary

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

This research is being done to learn if computer tasks that challenge the brain (cognitively stimulating tasks) can improve memory and other types of thinking. The study will compare the effects of different versions of the computer tasks. It also will compare the task performance of different groups of people.
