Summary

This study tests whether personalized 'booster' sessions of cognitive training can help older veterans with mild cognitive impairment maintain or improve their thinking and daily functioning after completing an earlier training program. The boosters are shortened refresher modules tailored to each person's everyday goals. Researchers will measure how acceptable, appropriate, and feasible the boosters are, and get an initial look at changes in cognitive and functional performance.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Motivationally-Enhanced Compensatory Cognitive Training (ME-CCT) booster modules
What this could lead to: If the booster sessions are acceptable and feasible, they could offer a way to help older veterans with mild cognitive impairment hold onto or even extend the benefits of earlier cognitive training, potentially improving daily functioning.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. The booster sessions are brief and may not provide additional cognitive benefit, and the study primarily measures acceptability and feasibility rather than long-term outcomes.
