Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Speed of processing training

Speed of processing training is provided by the Internet-based BrainHQ program from Posit Science, Inc. BrainHQ contains five different speed training modules (Hawk Eye, Visual Sweeps, Fine Tuning, Eye for Detail, Sound Sweeps) which tap time-order judgment, visual discrimination, spatial-match, forward-span, instruction-following, and memory.

BEHAVIORAL

MIND foods

The "MIND" diet (created by the Rush Aging \& Memory group) specifically emphasizes foods high in polyphenols such as berries, nuts, cocoa, black beans, olive oil, and green leafy vegetables. Participants select these foods from the digital study application and receive them through home delivery.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive training control

Control training is provided by the Internet-based BrainHQ program from Posit Science, Inc.These are inert games such as tic-tac-toe, connect 4, battleship, etc.

BEHAVIORAL

Control foods

Foods contain low polyphenols. Participants select these foods from the digital study application and receive them through home delivery.
