Summary

This trial tests whether a specific memory retraining technique, practiced on a laptop twice a week for five weeks, can improve new learning and memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Half the participants receive the real training; the other half do placebo exercises. Researchers will also check whether any gains carry over to everyday life and last over time.
