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 examine changes in multiple cognitive skills after completing 60 hours of cognitive training with ThinkRx, a LearningRx program.

Detailed Description

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

In a two-phase randomized controlled study, investigators will examine the effects of a one-on-one cognitive training program on memory, visual and auditory processing, processing speed, reasoning, attention, and General Intellectual Ability (GIA) score for students ages 8-14. In Phase 1, participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group to complete 60 hours of one-on-one cognitive training or to a wait-list control group. In Phase 2, the wait-list control group will complete the intervention using an alternative delivery model: 50% clinician delivered and 50% digital delivery.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

LearningRx Cognitive Training

The intervention is a 60-hour one-on-one cognitive training program

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LearningRx cognitive training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A clinician will deliver forty 90-minute cognitive training sessions over 12-14 weeks for a total of 60 training hours. There are 23 different categories of training procedures sequenced in intensity and difficulty for a total of more than 1000 training tasks.

Waitlist Control

The treatment-as-usual control group will begin the intervention when the experimental arm has completed the intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
