Overview

Brief Summary

This study will determine the effects of simultaneous exercise and cognitive training on cognitive function in healthy older adults. Specifically, this study will compare the use of a tablet-based cognitive training system while exercising with exercise alone, cognitive training alone, and a neutral control condition on cognition.
