Actual (reported)This is second-generation study based on results from ACTIVE (Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly). This four-arm study is known as IHAMS (the Iowa Healthy and Active Minds Study). The investigators will formally test from an intent-to-treat perspective for differences on the primary and secondary outcomes based on whether participants were randomized to the basic on-site speed of processing training (SOPT) group (G1), to the on-site basic SOPT plus subsequent booster-training group (G2), to the basic at-home SOPT group (G3), or to the basic attention-control group (G4). Basic training involves 10 hours of either the SOPT or attention-control training during the first 6 weeks of participation. Booster-training involves 4 additional hours of SOPT training at 11 months of participation.

Actual (reported)Useful Field of View Test
The Useful Field of View (UFOV) is a computer-administered test of functional vision and visual attention. UFOV consists of three subtests which assess speed of visual processing under increasingly complex task demands. The examinee must detect, identify, and localize briefly presented targets.
