Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who have been diagnosed with sickle cell disease (any type or form of the condition).
- Children between the ages of 7 and 16 years old.
- Children who score low enough on at least one working memory test (a type of memory used to hold and use information in the short term) to show a meaningful weakness in this area — specifically, more than one standard deviation below the average score, or noticeably below what would be expected based on their general intelligence level. This is assessed before entering the treatment part of the trial.
Who may not be able to join:
- Children who have a physical difficulty with movement, vision, or hearing that would prevent them from using a computer.
- Children who have been diagnosed with a mental health condition that would either prevent participation in brain-training activities or would need to be treated first before this kind of program could be considered.
- Children who have a history of seizures triggered by flashing lights or visual patterns (known as photosensitive seizures).
- Children who do not have enough English language ability to take part in the program.
- Children who have recently started taking stimulant medication for attention difficulties, or have had their dose changed, within the past 30 days.
