An interventional study of Lumosity Cognitive Training and Crossword Puzzles in Cognitive Abilities, sponsored by Lumos Labs, Inc.. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-09-11.

The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy of an online cognitive training program against an active control condition in a large, randomized trial.
The present study aims to evaluate a targeted, progressively challenging, online cognitive training program comprised of 49 distinct exercises targeting a variety of cognitive capacities. The cognitive training program will be compared to a plausibly beneficial active control condition in which participants completed online crossword puzzles.
The investigators hypothesize that the cognitive training will show greater transfer to a range of underlying cognitive abilities than the active control, as measured by a broad battery of neuropsychological assessments and participant-reported outcomes.
Lumos Labs, Inc. is the lead sponsor of 10 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.
