Sponsor's own description

This is a research study, designed to test and create new ideas that other people can use. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate two ways of helping people learn to keep their brain healthy. Research has shown that things like exercise, diet, and computer-based cognitive training (doing things that make you think and remember on a computer or tablet) may help older persons maintain their mental functioning as they get older. We want to look at two ways for people to a develop brain healthy lifestyle that they can use and even enjoy. If we find that one of the ways of developing a brain healthy lifestyle is better than the other, other older persons may be able to use it, too. When we say "brain healthy lifestyle," we mean doing things that help to keep you healthy, like exercising and following a good diet. We also mean doing things that may help you think better and maintain your thinking and reasoning as you get older.
