Summary

Executive control processes involve initiate, coordinate, synchronize, and regulate elemental cognitive functions for the conduct of goal-directed behavior. The proposed research investigates whether exposure to a web-based training protocol designed to enhance executive control processes will improve cognitive performance in cognitively healthy older adults.

Conditions

  • Healthy Aging

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Web-based training strategy

Participants will undergo a web-based training protocol where they will play an online game that simulates a breakfast environment and will perform everyday activities as "cooking" and "setting tables" in a multi-tasking fashion. Participants will learn to play the game using specific strategies, in order to optimize the performance.

BEHAVIORAL

Web-based regular training (no strategy)

Participants will undergo a web-based training protocol where they will play an online game that simulates a breakfast environment and will perform everyday activities as "cooking" and "setting tables" in a multi-tasking fashion. Participants will learn to play the game under regular game instructions.
