研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of launching a personalized digital health assessment and remediation program for the older adults in senior living communities based upon an initial characterization of these abilities. Evidence of feasibility here using these unique methodological approaches would provide empirical evidence supporting the basis for a larger-scale implementation of such digital health technologies into less controlled senior settings.

研究组 & 干预措施
Adaptive Cognitive Control Trainer (ACCT)
There are three modules within the game, each training a different aspect of cognitive control (attention, goal management, working memory): a visual search task for attention abilities, a spatial span task for working memory, and a task switching paradigm for goal management abilities. There are also 3 different levels of difficulty associated with each module; advancing to the next level delivers an advanced challenge that enhances the difficulty in performing the given cognitive task. Participants advance to the next level of difficulty following 6 training sessions occurring over 2 weeks, with the total training experience being 6 weeks of training (3 days/week), with each training session lasting 36 minutes (not including self-paced breaks).
干预措施: Adaptive Cognitive Control Trainer (ACCT) (Behavioral)
Active Control Group
An active control application will be used for this arm. The total training experience here will also be for 6 weeks (3 days/week), with each training session lasting ~30 minutes (not including self-paced breaks). Here an app that is matched in terms of expectancy of benefits compared to our training groups will be determined by questioning 100 naïve individuals to predict their expected improvement on each cognitive domain across a multitude of possible applications.

主要结局
Number of Participants Who Attempted to Complete the Adaptive Cognitive Evaluation (ACE) From Baseline at 6 Weeks
时间窗: At Baseline and post intervention at the 6 week mark
ACE is a custom mobile cognitive health assessment battery that presents paradigms typically used in standard cognitive neuroscience laboratories. Here the investigators will assess a measure of (1) Attention and (2) Working memory in the ACE software.

- Mean Performance on the Everyday Cognition Scale (ECog) From Baseline at 6 Weeks(At Baseline and post intervention at the 6 week mark)
- Mean Change on Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) From Baseline at 6 Weeks(At Baseline and post intervention at the 6 week mark)
- Mean Change on General Health and Well-being (SF-36) From Baseline at 6 Weeks(At Baseline and post intervention at the 6 week mark)
