Brain training study for younger and older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares different types of memory and thinking exercises in younger and older healthy adults. It tests whether a specific computer-based training program can improve mental abilities like attention and problem-solving.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether auditory training can improve how people process sounds. It compares outcomes between younger adults (18-30) and older adults (60-85) who have normal or near-normal hearing.
This trial studies whether a computer-based brain training program can help thinking skills in older adults. It is designed for people who are generally healthy and have not received similar training before.
This study tests whether a computer-based brain training program can help older adults maintain or improve their thinking and memory skills. Researchers will compare people with normal thinking abilities to those with mild memory problems to see if the training helps both groups.
This trial tests a digital brain-training program designed to improve thinking skills like planning and memory in healthy older adults. It may help you stay sharp as you age.
This study tests a non-drug program designed to help people aged 60+ who notice their memory is slipping but don't have dementia. The program combines exercises and activities aimed at keeping your brain sharp and maintaining independence.
This study tests a computer-based brain-training program designed to improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to see if these exercises can help keep the brain healthy and slow down memory decline.
