Study Summary

This trial will explore whether a web-based training can improve thinking skills in older adults with no cognitive issues.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people aged 60-75 who speak English well and are willing to follow a web-based training program. It's not for those with low cognitive test scores, in another study, on meds affecting cognition, or with impairments that make using a computer hard.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if a special web-based training can help improve thinking skills in healthy older adults by focusing on executive control processes—how we plan, manage tasks, and pay attention.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive web-based training exercises designed to enhance cognitive function, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating.
