Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a smartphone-based memory training program on the cognitive functioning of old-aged adults. The authors developed a smartphone-based program for attention, memory, and working memory training. A total of 54 participants (ages 50-69) were observed individually for 8 weeks. Cognitive functioning was measured with the Memory Diagnostic System before and after the training. Results indicated that the training group showed a significant improvement in memory, working memory, and executive functioning. The results suggest that a smartphone-based memory training program can enhance cognitive functioning, including memory in old-aged adults. Additional controlled study is needed to confirm the present results.
