The EFIT study is a randomized clinical trial to explore moderators and mechanisms underlying the transfer of one cognitive training program to maintained cognition and everyday function. 100 participants will complete three traditional assessments of cognitive, psychosocial, and lifestyle assessments on a study-provided laptop at baseline, post-test, and three-month follow-up. Across this study period, participants will complete daily cognitive, psychosocial, and health assessments using a study-provided smartphone. Between baseline and post-test, participants will be randomized to one of two arms: cognitive training or an active control. Both groups will complete 20 hours of activities on the study-provided laptop across a ten week period. A subsample of 40 participants will also complete three additional measures. First, they will be provided a FitBit and be asked to wear the FitBit across the study period. Second, sleep measures will be obtained across two nights at baseline and post-test using an at home sleep monitor, which is clinically approved, and evaluated by a physician specializing in sleep. Finally, this subsample will also complete a fMRI session at baseline and posttest. Except for the fMRI sessions, all data collection is complete remotely within the participants' homes.
