Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive training program called Mental Training Tech 24.5 (MTT24.5). The program aims to enhance brain function and neuronal plasticity in adults who do not have any clinical cognitive impairment. This study will help determine if MTT24.5 improves cognitive abilities and affects brain volume and activation.

The Main Questions it aims to answer are:

Does MTT24.5 improve overall cognitive performance and specific areas like memory, attention, and language skills? What effects does MTT24.5 have on brain volume and activation? How well do participants follow the program, and what are their response patterns?

Study Design

* Researchers will compare the results of participation in the MTT24.5 training versus a control group with no intervention. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the MTT24.5 program or the control group.
* The study involves adults aged 30 and older from the general population who do not have clinical cognitive impairment.
* The intervention includes attending 12 weekly in-person sessions, each lasting about 2 hours, for a total of 24.5 hours.
* The study will assess cognitive performance, brain volume, and activation, as well as monitor adherence to the program and response patterns.

Participants will:

* Engage in the MTT24.5 program or the control condition as assigned.
* Complete cognitive assessments to measure performance in various domains.
* Undergo brain imaging to evaluate changes in brain volume and activation.

Conditions

  • Cognitive Dysfunction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive training

MTT24.5 consists in the learning of 40 new datas or knowledges, along 24.5 hours distributted on classes or sessions, during which an average of 3.5 new pieces of knowledge are taught and reinforced through training. Participants are trained using 4 techniques assigned to each new piece of information from a total of 100 available techniques. These techniques include the use of non-dominant skills, literacy in Braille for sighted individuals, and performing 5 actions simultaneously. Each technique is designed to aid in the memorization and learning of new knowledge
