Abstract:
This study provides an introduction to, and overview of, several papers that resulted from a randomized control trial
that evaluated a new cognitive rehabilitation protocol. The program was designed to improve general strategic
abilities in ways that would be expressed in a broad range of functional domains. The trial, which was conducted on
a sample of older adults who had experienced normal age-related cognitive decline, assessed performance in the
following domains: memory, goal management, and psychosocial status. The general rationale for the trial,
the overall experimental design, and the approach to statistical analyses that are relevant to each paper are
described here. The results for each functional domain are reported in separate papers in this series
