Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Model-basedExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Semantic Feature Analysis training will be provided in the language that was selected by the computational model.

Group II: Model-oppositeActive Control1 Intervention

Semantic Feature Analysis training will be provided in the language opposite to that which was selected by the computational model.

Group III: Sub-Study: Computational Modeling for Bilingual Dementia and Semantic DeclineActive Control1 Intervention

This is a sub-study aimed at building a computational model to simulate bilingual dementia and semantic decline.
