First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether computer-based cognitive training done at home, with online monitoring, could improve thinking and quality of life in 36 older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Participants trained three times a week for 12 weeks. Researchers measured their cognitive function and quality of life at the start, after 8 weeks, and after 12 weeks.
