What this trial studies
This interventional study tests an individualized cognitive training program delivered on a tablet to improve executive functions in neurologically healthy older adults. Participants will be assessed before, after the training, and at a follow-up to measure changes in planning, cognitive flexibility, and problem solving. The study compares two delivery methods: self-administered home training and supervised training with a researcher. It aims to determine whether the program is feasible and effective in real-world and supervised settings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved everyday cognitive functioning and greater independence.
How similar studies have gone: Previous cognitive training studies in older adults have shown mixed but generally positive effects on executive function, with some benefits replicated across settings.
