Conditions

  • Cognitive Change

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Visual and / or Auditory Cognitive Tasks (1)

Seven sessions (\~45-75 minutes) of cognitive tasks in the lab. Participants asked to view visual stimuli (such as black and white lines, letters, simple shapes like triangles, circles, and squares) presented on a computer or television screen and/or listen to auditory stimuli (such as pure tones) presented via headphone or speakers and asked to make simple judgements.

BEHAVIORAL

Visual and / or Auditory Cognitive Tasks (2)

Two sets of 10 sessions (\~20 minutes) of cognitive tasks either at home or in the lab. Participants asked to view visual stimuli (such as black and white lines, letters, simple shapes like triangles, circles, and squares) presented on a computer or television screen and/or listen to auditory stimuli (such as pure tones) presented via headphone or speakers and asked to make simple judgements.
