About this trial

The purpose of this study is to test whether a special memory training program, called CogMed, can help people with early memory problems. The Investigators want to see if this training improves memory and also helps reduce stress.

The Investigators also want to see if CogMed results in changes to a blood biomarker called p-Tau 217, which possibly indicate Alzheimer's disease (AD).
