Cognitive interventions showed promising evidence in postponing the potential cognitive decline older adults. However, results of such are still debated as not being ecologically valid nor producing transfer effect. Hence, we designed an intervention using online shopping applications to explore its effectiveness on adults’ functioning. For this aim, recruited 102 healthy Malaysian adults (M= 66.18, SD= 4.95). Participants were randomly assigned one study groups including experimental (CSI), active (ACG), or passive (PCG) control groups. CSI and ACG attended 22 weekly sessions, while PCG participants did attend any sessions. group completed a series tasks targeted inhibition WM-updating applications. In contrast, only asked complete their non-CSI by interacting freely with same All assessment sessions baseline, post-test, 1-month follow-up survey measures Stroop, digit span, Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), self-developed travelling application (to examine between-application transfer). Data was analysed Bayesian independent t-test, multiple linear regression. The indicated credible difference between post-test PASAT-3second, PASAT-2second subscale.
