  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: LearningRx cognitive training
The intervention is a 60-hour, clinician-delivered cognitive training program.
Behavioral: LearningRx cognitive training
A clinician will deliver three 90-minute cognitive training sessions per week for 14 weeks. There are 16 different categories of leveled training procedures sequenced in intensity and difficulty for a total of 530 training tasks.
