BID LTM Digital Intervention in Aging
Behavioral Intervention Development Core - Long Term Memory Digital Intervention in Aging
University of California, San Francisco
150 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Healthy aging is typically accompanied by diminished capability for learning and retrieval of high-fidelity long-term memory (LTM). The decline in these faculties is accelerated and becomes significant deficits in LTM and cognitive control functions at the level or a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Training with the navigation game, relative to training with control games, is expected to improve LTM performance for older adult participants. Researchers will compare two different digital interventions to assess whether they may be helpful in improving cognitive function. Participants will conduct study activities remotely (e.g., at-home): 1. Baseline Assessment. Complete a series of cognitive assessments and surveys. 2. Intervention. Engage in a digital intervention for up to 8 weeks. 3. Post Intervention Assessment. Complete the same cognitive assessments and surveys as the Baseline Assessment. 4. Follow-Up Assessment. Six months after the intervention ends, participants will complete the same cognitive assessments and surveys as the Baseline Assessment.
