The present study investigated the effects of a cognitive enhancement program for older adults. The program was composed of meta-cognitive education, discussions regarding cognitive themes, and cognitive training. Forty older adults (M = 72.58, SD = 6.64) in an experimental group and 24 older adults (M = 74.49, SD = 4.87) in a control group were tested using the CERAD-K. Trained older adults demonstrated performance benefits in verbal memory, visual memory, processing speed, executive function, and utilized more memory strategies. These training benefits were also maintained at a 1-month follow-up. Furthermore, life satisfaction improved, and levels of depression and anxiety were reduced in comparison to the control group. Findings suggest that our training program may either help the maintenance or improvement of older adults’ cognitive abilities.
