Cognitive Control Training

Cognitive Control Training involves daily practice with one of two computerized interventions. The first intervention is an adaptive Go/No-Go task to provide practice in the domain of response inhibition. Participants press a key as fast as possible in response to stimuli (letters of the alphabet), but must inhibit responses to a specific letter. The second intervention is an adaptive Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT), designed to practice working memory. Participants are presented with single numbers presented aurally, and must add each number they hear to the previous number and click the correct sum on the screen.
