Assessing and Improving the Durability of Compensatory Cognitive Training for Older Veterans

ME-CCT is a traditionally a manualized group-based behavioral intervention (8 weeks, 2 hours per week) designed to improve cognitive and everyday functioning in patients with MCI. Our booster modules will be shortened and distilled from ME-CCT using the IM Adapt protocol (and thus will not be new information but rather 'reminder' content) for a personalized four-session sequence of booster training targeted toward specific everyday functional needs of individual participants.

Treatment for MCI is generally managed by Primary Care or Neurology. Participants will continue to receive their usual care with their current providers. With no effective pharmacological treatment known for persons with MCI, providers tend to focus on encouraging a healthy lifestyle, prevention and management of modifiable risk factors for cognitive impairment, and treatment of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms.
