About this study

In a two-phase randomized controlled study, investigators will examine the effects of a one-on-one cognitive training program on memory, visual and auditory processing, processing speed, reasoning, attention, and General Intellectual Ability (GIA) score for students ages 8-14. In Phase 1, participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group to complete 60 hours of one-on-one cognitive training or to a wait-list control group. In Phase 2, the wait-list control group will complete the intervention using an alternative delivery model: 50% clinician delivered and 50% digital delivery.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Between 8-14 years of age, living in the greater Colorado Springs area, screening GIA score between 70 and 130

Exclusion criteria

  • None

Treatment and study plan

LearningRx cognitive training

Behavioral

A clinician will deliver forty 90-minute cognitive training sessions over 12-14 weeks for a total of 60 training hours. There are 23 different categories of training procedures sequenced in intensity and difficulty for a total of more than 1000 training tasks.

Other names: ThinkRx

Primary outcomes

  1. Evidence of overall cognitive function improvement

    Time frame: within 14 days after completing the intervention

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evidence of improvement in school performance

    Time frame: Within two years after completing the intervention

    Confirmed by improvement in school achievement tests and grade reports

  2. Evidence of improvement in working memory

    Time frame: within 14 days after completing the intervention

    Confirmed by pretest to posttest change on the WJ III: Numbers Reversed test

  3. Evidence of improvement in long-term memory

    Time frame: within 14 days after completing the intervention

    Confirmed by pretest to posttest change on the WJ III: Visual-Auditory Learning Delayed test

  4. Evidence of improvement in fluid reasoning

    Time frame: within 14 days after completing the intervention

    Confirmed by pretest to posttest change on the WJ III: Concept Formation test

  5. Evidence of improvement in processing speed

    Time frame: within 14 days after completing the intervention

    Confirmed by pretest to posttest change on the WJ III: Visual Matching test

  6. Evidence of improvement in visual processing

    Time frame: within 14 days after completing the intervention

    Confirmed by pretest to posttest change on the WJ III: Spatial Relations test

  7. Evidence of improvement in auditory processing

    Time frame: within 14 days after completing the intervention

    Confirmed by pretest to posttest change on the WJ III: Sound Blending test

  8. Evidence of improvement in attention

    Time frame: within 14 days after completing the intervention

    Confirmed by pretest to posttest change on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Cognition Toolbox attention test
