About the Study
This study will examine how well a computer-based training helps breast cancer survivors with thinking and memory problems caused by cancer.
What the Study Involves
People will be randomly placed in one of two computerized cognitive training groups. This will require a commitment of completing up to 40 hours of training over a ten-week period (average of 4 hours per week). In addition, we will ask you to complete questionnaires and complete a phone assessment of your thinking and memory skills before, immediately after the intervention at 12, 24, and 36 weeks after joining the study.
