This study is looking at how different types of memory training can help people in mid-life make healthier choices. Many health decisions involve choosing between something good now versus something better later, and this study aims to improve your ability to delay gratification. You would participate in a 5-7 week program involving memory exercises like remembering sequences of numbers or words. Researchers will measure changes in "delay discounting" (how much you value immediate rewards over delayed ones) at the beginning, after 6-8 weeks, and then at 3 and 6 months. This study is for people aged 40 to 60 living in Baltimore, Maryland. The current status of this study is unclear.
