Study Arms (2)
LearningRx Cognitive Training
EXPERIMENTALThe intervention is a 60-hour one-on-one cognitive training program
Waitlist Control
NO INTERVENTIONThe treatment-as-usual control group will begin the intervention when the experimental arm has completed the intervention.
Interventions
A clinician will deliver forty 90-minute cognitive training sessions over 12-14 weeks for a total of 60 training hours. There are 23 different categories of training procedures sequenced in intensity and difficulty for a total of more than 1000 training tasks.
