RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
PREVENTION
TRIPLE
Randomizer is blinded to all participant pre-test outcomes. Care providers know what their participants are doing, but not aware of the full study design, including details of the other conditions or outcome test characteristics.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Goal Management Training
The online version of GMT with a therapist on the back-end monitoring progress and giving feedback throughout the program. Online GMT takes 5-9 weeks (self-paced) to complete 9 modules involving instructional video with interactive content, practice of cognitive strategies through games, and between-module exercises.
Goal Management Training
Pre-recorded videos and games combine psycho-education, targeted skills training, and mindfulness practice to teach a system where participants can take control of their attention and cognitive faculties.
Memory & Aging Program
The online version of MAP with a therapist moderator on the course discussion pages. MAP takes 5-9 weeks (self-paced) to complete 8 modules involving instructional video with interactive content and practice of memory strategies through various exercises.
Memory & Aging Program
Pre-recorded videos and activities combine psycho-education, memory strategy training, and social support to educate about normal memory change in aging, normalize the experience of participants going through it, and equip them to handle age-related memory change.
Cambridge Brain Sciences Training
This is a commercial and research brain training platform, composed of 7 games that are online adaptations of the standard measures of cognition including working memory and spacial planning.
Cambridge Brain Sciences
Commercial brain training software available for subscription to the general public and for research studies.
Waitlist
Participants randomized to this arm will receive no additional information or access to intervention programs until after the follow up testing measures are collected, at which point they will be given access to the intervention of their choosing.
No interventions assigned to this group
