Metacognitive strategy training was developed for old adults to improve their cognitive performance. 133 old adults participated at 9 training sessions. Results showed the efficacy of this type of intervention in improving cognitive performance and metacognitive attitudes in older adults.

Abstract
Metacognitive strategy training was developed for old adults to improve their cognitive performance. 133 old adults participated at 9 training sessions. Results showed the efficacy of this type of intervention in improving cognitive performance and metacognitive attitudes in older adults. Moreover, a significant increase from post-test performance to a follow-up, conducted after six months, was found in memory performance. Taken together these findings highlight the importance of a training program that integrates teaching the use of mnemonic strategies with metacognitive principles to improve old adults’ memory ability.
