This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking problems and whether a cognitive (thinking) assessment and rehab approach can help adults with memory or thinking changes. You may be asked to take thinking tests and complete study activities during rehab.
This study tests whether changing how older adults think about aging can help with memory concerns. If you are 60+ and feel your memory or thinking is declining (but tests are normal), you may be able to join.
This study tests a computer-based memory training program to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. It may help you if you have memory concerns but still live independently.
This study tests a computer-based memory training program for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to see if practicing working memory exercises can help improve memory and thinking. You would use your own computer at home.
This study tests a non-drug program (like exercise or memory activities) to see if it can help older adults who feel their memory is slipping. If you join, you may learn ways to support your memory and thinking.
This trial tests an approach to improve learning and memory in people age 60+ with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (a specific type of early memory problem). It may help by supporting memory and learning skills, but it also has medication and health-history requirements.
