The purpose of this study is to examine changes in multiple cognitive skills after completing 60 hours of cognitive training with ThinkRx, a LearningRx program.
In a two-phase randomized controlled study, investigators will examine the effects of a one-on-one cognitive training program on memory, visual and auditory processing, processing speed, reasoning, attention, and General Intellectual Ability (GIA) score for students ages 8-14. In Phase 1, participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group to complete 60 hours of one-on-one cognitive training or to a wait-list control group. In Phase 2, the wait-list control group will complete the intervention using an alternative delivery model: 50% clinician delivered and 50% digital delivery.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| LearningRx Cognitive Training | Experimental | The intervention is a 60-hour one-on-one cognitive training program |
|
| Waitlist Control | No Intervention | The treatment-as-usual control group will begin the intervention when the experimental arm has completed the intervention. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LearningRx cognitive training | Behavioral | A clinician will deliver forty 90-minute cognitive training sessions over 12-14 weeks for a total of 60 training hours. There are 23 different categories of training procedures sequenced in intensity and difficulty for a total of more than 1000 training tasks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence of overall cognitive function improvement | Confirmed by pretest to post-test change on the Woodcock Johnson III - Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJ III): General Intellectual Ability composite score | within 14 days after completing the intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence of improvement in school performance | Confirmed by improvement in school achievement tests and grade reports | Within two years after completing the intervention |
| Evidence of improvement in working memory |
