Using Artificial Intelligence to Predict Cognitive Training Response in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment
University of Florida
Summary
This study will train a machine learning tool to predict response to a cognitive training intervention using baseline brain MRI sequences from older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment.
Description
This randomized controlled clinical trial proposes to test a well-supported Cognitive Training intervention approach for enhancing cognition in older adults who meet criteria for amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). The trial will recruit participants recently enrolled in a larger multi-site clinical trial (NCT04171323) at the University of Florida site based on meeting inclusion criteria and willingness to participate in the additional procedures (baseline MRI) required. The intervention will consist of a take-home, iPad-based, adaptive cognitive training (Posit Science Brain HQ Suite)…

Inclusion Criteria: * Evidence of changed cognition reported by a close informant as obtained by an interview with a licensed clinical psychologist (PI, Gullett) * Cognitive performance on one or more standardized neuropsychological measures of verbal or non-verbal memory \> 1.0 standard deviation or more below the normative mean for age and education * No evidence of reported dependence in instrumental functional abilities (IADLs) despite reported cognitive difficulties * No evidence of dementia based on cognitive screening (Montreal Cognitive Assessment Score within normal limits for age, e…
Interventions
- BehavioralCognitive Training
The intervention group will receive cognitive training that provides specific training tasks directed at essential cognitive domains tied to the project's aims and hypotheses (processing speed and working memory) that correspond with the neurocognitive and functional neuroimaging measures to be studied.
- BehavioralComputerized Cognitive Stimulation
Participants will complete cognitively-stimulating computer activities. The duration is 60 min/day; the frequency is two to three days/wk, for 16 weeks with the goal of completing 40 sessions.
