- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To investigate the modulation of stress-induced, memory-associated cognitive changes using behavioral cognitive training. Prior to training, various memory tests (memory recall, working memory, multiple memory systems) are completed followed by a cognitive training for six weeks. Here, either intervention tasks or active control tasks are completed by half of the participants. After training, the memory tests are completed again, this time following a stress induction or a control manipulation. This results in a total of four experimental groups. Physiological measures are recorded during the memory tests.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Improved understanding of potential preventive effects of a cognitive training on stress-induced memory decline.
