About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a five-week virtual cognitive training intervention for people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) based off an existing eight-week intervention. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Is five weeks of training as good as eight weeks in improving cognition, quality of life, daily functioning, and mood, and in reducing caregiver burden? Researchers will compare five weeks of cognitive training to eight weeks of training to see if the shorter version is as effective as the full training.
Participants will complete all activities virtually:
* Complete a screening visit with a study partner (typically a family member, roommate, or close friend) to determine eligibility to participate in the study * Complete some tests of memory and thinking and some questionnaires * Attend weekly two-hour group cognitive training sessions with a trained group leader, for five or eight weeks * Redo the questionnaires and tests of memory and thinking immediately after completing the training, and three months after completing the training
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
65 years of age or older, less than 85 years
Have the ability to speak and understand English
Time and willingness to commit to the completion of this study
Availability of a study partner (typically a relative, spouse, offspring, or roommate) for initial and post-intervention testing
Disqualifiers
Self-reported diagnosis of dementia or functional impairment that requires assistance
Recent changes in medications for memory (i.e., prescribed or changed medications for memory within 30 days)
Major psychiatric illness (schizophrenia, current substance dependence, or undertreated depression or anxiety), or 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) score of eight or higher
Hearing, vision, or motor deficits that would interfere with standardized cognitive assessment or participation in study interventions: e.g., inability to hear through headphones (with or without hearing aids). If vision is corrected with lenses to appropriate levels, then participant will be eligible
