Abstract
Introduction: Cognitive decline may occur as older adults age. Cognitive decline commonly results in reduced independence in day-to-day activities, and often requires intervention. Research has identified memory encoding interventions among older adults as beneficial. Furthermore, embedding cognitive rehabilitation within day-to-day activities and making use of computer-based programs are two strategies that have proven to be effective in maintaining function and cognition among older adults. However, little is known about the feasibility or the optimum implementation of a program that combines these two strategies. Objective: To determine the feasibility of a memory encoding computer-based intervention program for older adults.
