NCT ID NCT06269939
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured memory technique can improve new learning and recall in healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment. Participants will undergo memory training and complete verbal learning tasks and brain scans to measure changes. The goal is to see if a simple, non-drug approach can help counter age-related memory decline.
