Study Summary

This trial will explore how memory self-efficacy, a trait that can be improved with training, affects older adults' memory performance and brain activity.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for older adults who've noticed memory issues in the last 5 years, can manage daily activities, and show some memory impairment on tests. They must score below a certain level on a cognitive assessment, be fluent in English, right-handed, and have overall intact cognition.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing whether training to boost confidence in memory skills (memory self-efficacy) can actually improve how well older adults remember things. It will also look at how this training might change brain activity related to memory and confidence.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve educational training programs rather than medications or medical procedures, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Can new individuals take part in this trial?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov data reveals that this clinical trial, initiated on August 1st 2023, is presently recruiting patients. A total of 28 participants are sought from one medical facility."

Answered by AI

What is the current number of individuals taking part in this experiment?

"Confirmed. Per the information on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial is actively searching for participants and was first made available to the public on August 1st 2023. The data has been revised as recently as December 4th 2023 with a goal of recruiting 28 patients from one site."

Answered by AI

Is the recruitment process for this trial including individuals over sixty years of age?

"This clinical trial welcomes patients aged between 60 and 80. Additionally, there are 25 studies for individuals under 18 years old and 574 studies that involve participants over 65."

Answered by AI

What are the objectives of this experimental program?

"The primary focus of this trial, which spans a period of 6 weeks with pre and post intervention measurements, is assessing neurological biomarkers in the default mode network. Secondary outcomes encompass story recall to gauge episodic memory capacity; list recall as an indicator for working memory; and face-name pairs that evaluate associative memory - all of these are trained performance tasks customised within the training protocol."

Answered by AI

Do I satisfy the requirements to participate in this clinical investigation?

"This medical trial needs 28 participants aged 60-80, with mild cognitive impairment and the following additional criteria: recent subjective memory complaints; impaired standardized cognitive testing scores below age norms; a score of less than 25 on Montreal Cognitive Assessment; 1.5 standard deviations below typical performance in memory tests; unimpaired daily activities & general cognition; fluent English reading/writing/speaking abilities, and right handedness."
