This research is being completed because depressed older adults commonly experience difficulties with concentration and processing speed, also called executive dysfunction, as well as negative affect/emotions (e.g., low mood, irritability, worry). Older adults with depression and executive dysfunction and/or negative affect/emotions regularly fail to get better with conventional antidepressant medications. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use an established non-invasive treatment (computerized brain-training) that may improve cognitive and depression related outcomes in older adults. There are two aims of the current study. We are interested in whether a computerized braintraining treatment will improve thinking and depression in older depressed adults. We are also interested in whether participating in the treatment will result in changes to brain activity measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
