PrimaryMean change from pre-training in Montreal Congnitive Assessment (MoCA) scoresPre- and post-training (after ~3 months of training)Raw score, assessing global cognitive functioning. Cutoff: \< 17.362. Cutoff scores indicate the value above/below which the cognitive performance is considered pathological.ClinicalTrials.gov
PrimaryMean change from pre-training in Forward and Backward Digit and Corsi Span scoresPre- and post-training (after ~3 months of training)
Raw score, assessing verbal and visuo-spatial short term memory. Cutoff: \< 4.26 (Forward Digit Span), \< 2.65 (Backward Digit Span), \< 3.46 (Forward Corsi Span), \< 3.08 (Backward Corsi Span). Cutoff scores indicate the value above/below which the cognitive performance is considered pathological.

Cutoff: \> 93 (TMT A), \> 282 (TMT B), \> 186 (TMT B-A). Cutoff scores indicate the value above/below which the cognitive performance is considered pathological.ClinicalTrials.gov
PrimaryMean change from pre-training in Raven's coloured matrices scoresPre- and post-training (after ~3 months of training)Raw score, assessing non-verbal reasoning. Cutoff: \< 18. Cutoff scores indicate the value above/below which the cognitive performance is considered pathological.ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryMean scores in the Post-training questionnairePost-training (after ~3 months of training)
Scores assessing both the satisfaction level about the training and the possible impact of the program on participants' everyday activities, mood and socialization. Each question was measured on a 5-point Likert scale (1: most negative score; 5: most positive score).
