Art Dealer
Art Dealer is a theory-based game designed to train controlled forms of memory and attention. The game uses the Avoiding-Repetitions/Incremented-Difficulty training procedure developed by Jennings & Jacoby (2003). A recent study (Toth, Daniels, & Jacoby, submitted) found that older adults who played Art Dealer for 8 hours over a one-week period showed enhanced cognitive performance relative to a control group.


Trivia Poker
Trivia Poker is a theory-based game designed to measure and train working memory. The game takes its inspiration from cognitive measures of working memory such as Operation Span and the n-back task. We are currently investigating whether Trivia Poker can help increase the working-memory spans of older adults.
