This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an online memory training program designed to improve independent living skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Participants will be randomly assigned to either begin the training program right away or to wait eight weeks. During the seven-week training, participants will interact in group online classes for one hour each week to learn strategies for using three different types of memory aids (calendars, timers, and notes). At the start of the study, and after eight and 16 weeks, all participants will complete questionnaires about their memory, daily functioning, and the use of memory aids and strategies. A small group of participants will also be randomly selected for video interviews after completion of the training. Researchers will measure changes in memory, everyday functioning, cognition, quality of life, and self-efficacy. Each participant will be involved in the study for approximately 18 weeks total.
