Cognitive Intervention Group
Control Group
Research participants in the cognitive intervention group will undergo a baseline neuropsychological evaluation. One week later, they will receive the online training program (brainHQ by Posit Science) three times a week for 45 minutes for a total of 12 weeks. This group will return one week after completing the online intervention program for their follow-up neuropsychological evaluation. They will then return again one year later for another follow-up neuropsychological evaluation.
Research participants in the control group will undergo a baseline neuropsychological evaluation. They will then return 13 weeks after their baseline neuropsychological evaluation for a follow-up neuropsychological evaluation and again one year later.
