Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Changes in training index

Time Frame: Changes in training index is measured during 5 weeks of working memory training

The training index is based on the user's best results from selected exercises in the program. The Start Index is calculated with the results from days 2 and 3, and the Max Index is calculated with the results from the two best days during the training period. The Index Improvement is calculated by subtracting the Start Index from the Max Index.
