Thinking skills study for adults with intellectual disability
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at thinking skills (like memory and problem-solving) in adults with intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome. You will complete some tests and interviews with a psychologist to understand how these skills work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study enrolls adults with Down syndrome to better understand how thinking and memory develop and change over time. It may help by building a “trial-ready” group and by measuring thinking in a careful, consistent way.
This study looks at how well people think and remember as they age. It includes healthy volunteers, people with mild memory issues, and those with dementia—both early- and late-onset.
This study follows adults 40+ to better understand and track changes in memory and thinking as people age. It groups people with normal thinking, subjective complaints, mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer’s, and vascular (blood vessel) related brain changes to find what predicts progression.
This study looks at how well people can plan and control movements, and whether thinking ability affects that process. It compares healthy younger adults, healthy older adults, and older adults with mild cognitive problems.
This study follows children’s thinking and learning over time using simple testing at school. It aims to better estimate how children’s thinking develops and how it changes as they grow.
This study tests whether a computer-based “cognitive remediation” program can improve thinking and daily functioning in adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability. It may help your attention and social thinking, alongside usual care.
