Cognitive Training Video Game to Target Subclinical Depressive Symptoms in Youth

The purpose of the study is to determine how cognitive control training (CCT) changes behavior in youth with subclinical depressive symptoms. This research will show what types of behavior changes are important for CCT to help reduce depressive symptoms. In the future, we will use this information to try to improve how we prevent the development of depression, so that it can help more patients.
