Testing a New Computer Memory Assessment for Early Cognitive Changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study evaluates a new computer-based test to detect early memory and thinking changes before they progress to dementia. Researchers are looking for adults 65+ who've noticed subtle cognitive changes in the last 5 years to help refine and test this assessment tool.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.
This study uses a computer-based platform to test memory and thinking in healthy adults and in people with mild memory concerns (called aMCI). The goal is to better understand how memory changes with age and to spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
This study uses computer and touch-screen tasks to measure thinking changes in people who may be in the early, symptom-free stage of Alzheimer’s disease. It aims to understand how these brain-related changes show up on testing, which could help future detection or tracking.
This study tests strategies to prevent Alzheimer's disease in people with early memory concerns. It may help if you notice your thinking is not as sharp as before, but you can still manage daily tasks on your own.
This study tests a new assessment tool designed to measure how executive functions (planning, organization, problem-solving) contribute to language and meaning difficulties in people with memory changes. The tool may help doctors better understand cognitive impairment.
This study tests a digital “memory notebook” to help people who have early memory concerns keep track and report changes over time. It may be useful if you’re having mild memory issues and can complete surveys with a study partner.
