Interventions
BEHAVIORAL

Different Mixed Condition (DM)

Participants engage in home-based training on two working memory tasks, both different from those in the target task training. Goal is 10 days of training, with 4 8-min blocks of training each day.

BEHAVIORAL

Different Single Condition (DS)

Participants engage in home-based training on a working memory task that is different from that in the target task training. Goal is 10 days of training, with 4 8-min blocks of training each day.

BEHAVIORAL

Same Task (ST) Practice Control

Participants engage in home-based training on the exact same working memory tasks as that in the target task training. Goal is 10 days of training, with 4 8-min blocks of training each day.

BEHAVIORAL

Non-WM Placebo Control (PC)

Participants engage in home-based training on speeded verbal decision, which unlike the target task training, has no memory component. Goal is 10 days of training, with 4 8-min blocks of training each day.
