Abstract
The purpose of this study was to measure older adults’ beliefs and expectations about cognitive interventions (i.e., “brain games”). In a double-blind, randomized, clinical trial, participants completed a questionnaire about their expectations of computerized brain games after approximately 12 weeks of cognitive training or active control exercises.
