1. A method for enhancing memory and cognition in an aging adult, utilizing a computing device to provide aural and graphical presentations for training, the aural presentations utilizing computer generated stimuli, the method recording responses from the adult and adapting processing of the computer generated stimuli according to the recorded responses, the method comprising the steps of:

  • graphically presenting on the computing device at least four response buttons for selection by the adult;

    requiring the adult to select one of the at least four response buttons;

    upon selection of one of the at least four response buttons by the adult, aurally presenting one of a plurality of computer generated stimuli that has been associated with the selected one of the at least four response buttons;

    requiring the adult to select another one of the at least four response buttons;

    upon selection of one of the at least four response buttons by the adult, aurally presenting one of a plurality of computer generated stimuli that has been associated with the selected one of the at least four response buttons;

    if the adult consecutively selects two of the at least four response buttons that have had associated with them a desired pairing, removing those two selected buttons from those presented in said step of graphically presenting;

    if the adult consecutively selects two of the at least four response buttons that have not had associated with them a desired pairing, continuing to graphically present the consecutively selected response buttons to the adult;

    repeating said steps of requiring through removing; and

    adapting processing of the computer generated stimuli by altering the amount of processing as the adult successfully pairs the stimuli.
