Public Significance Statement:
This study tested the effect of a new memory training programme to facilitate memory retrieval. The programme improved memory performance in older adults, and its benefits generalised to social problem-solving abilities. Because social problem-solving was not directly trained, these results indicate transfer, highlighting the programme's potential for cognitive training interventions targeting older adults' cognitive health.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06110234.
