What this trial studies

This study tests an eight-session memory training protocol called STEM (Strategy Based Training to Enhance Memory) designed to teach techniques, how to apply them in real life, and how to adapt situations to maximize memory performance. Participants learn, practice, and implement strategies to handle memory-demanding daily tasks. The program focuses on restructuring everyday situations to make the most of the memory techniques. The trial is conducted with adults over 60 at the Kessler Foundation, led by Kessler Foundation researchers.
