Experimental Treatment

Arm Description

Computerized plasticity-based adaptive cognitive training requiring a total maximum of 30 treatment sessions, up to 5 sessions per week, 30 minutes per session.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Acceptability
Acceptability will be evaluated through Cognitive Training Acceptability Measure. This measure is comprised of 17 statements about their training experience and participants will be asked to rate each statement on a 7-point Likert scale from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.
Usability
Usability will be evaluated through the Computer System Usability Questionnaire and System Usability Scale. The Computer System Usability Questionnaire and System Usability Scale is comprised of a total of 29 statements and participants will be asked to rate the usability of the system on a 7-point Likert scale from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.
