Cognitive Training for Mild Cognitive Impairment
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a five-week cognitive training intervention for people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). 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: \[describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, interventions they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items\].
* Complete a virtual screening visit with a study partner (typically a family member, roommate, or close friend) to determine eligibility to participate in the study
* Complete some in-person tests of memory and thinking on the University of Florida's campus, and some questionnaires
* Attend weekly two-hour group cognitive training sessions with a trained group leader on campus, for five or eight weeks
* Redo the in-person questionnaires and tests of memory and thinking immediately after completing the training, and three months after completing the training
