Summary
This study tests whether a computerized eye-tracking training program can improve mood and thinking skills in older adults who have memory complaints but no dementia. Participants aged 60 to 80 will do 18 sessions over about 1.5 months, focusing on tasks that require attention and impulse control. Researchers will compare their results to a waitlist group to see if the training reduces anxiety and depression and improves focus.
