Background
memory difficulties
Many older adults report changes in their cognition, particularly their memory [Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses have provided good evidence that memory interventions can alter how older adults feel about their cognition, improve their confidence and self-efficacy, impact their relationships, and improve their well-being and quality of life [Another core component of effective interventions is practical skill building, that is, training older adults in the use of effective memory strategies. This incorporates a focus on compensatory strategies to manage memory difficulties in everyday life rather than a restorative approach involving repeated practice on a discrete cognitive task to improve performance in that domain [Although the benefits of these memory interventions are well established, most of the studies to date have been based on in-person, face-to-face group models. Although this may not be an issue for a research study, it can cause difficulties in terms of feasibility and sustainability when the interventions are implemented in a wider clinical or community setting. These interventions tend to be resource intensive in terms of staffing, facilitator training, and administrative demands [These access and resource issues can potentially be addressed by delivering an intervention in a web-based format [
