Outcome measures

self-efficacy, self evaluation, and everyday mistakes).
Secondary outcome
The secondary study objectives are objective cognitive functioning (measured
with 3 different cognitive tasks) and psychological wellbeing (measured with
questionnaires).
Background summary
As people age, they increasingly encounter difficulties regarding changes in
cognitive abilities. This is reinforced by the increase in productivity and the
great appeal on intellectual abilities in many work tasks. As a consequence,
people may experience an increased workload, decreased job satisfaction and
mental exhaustion. Intervention programs focusing on coping with age-related
cognitive changes and increasing memory self-efficacy could be an important and
effective tool to counteract age-related psychological distress.
Study objective
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of an
online cognitive intervention program. It is investigated whether participants
subjective cognitive functioning, objective cognitive functioning and
psychological wellbeing is influenced by participating in an online

focusing on increasing awareness of the age-related changing brain, giving
insight into personal improvements and providing tips and strategies regarding
memory, attention and planning. The duration of the online intervention will be
between two and four weeks.
Study burden and risks
Participating in the study is without any risk. People can participate in the
intervention program from their own home or workplace. All baseline and
post-test measurements are also done online. The baseline and post-test
measures are composed of questionnaires which are generally not considered to
be burdensome or stressful. Participating in the study has an additional
advantage to participants. Participation could lead to positive changes
regarding healthy cognitive aging and better coping with cognitive changes
related to aging.
