Developing Midlife Metacognitive Strategy Training (M-MCST) program: A feasibility study with middle-aged adults to evaluate the design, implementation, and impact of a novel program in fostering healthy cognitive aging

Abstract

Background Metacognitive skills mediate the role of cognitive reserves in aging and facilitate effective cognitive abilities. Metacognitive deficits may precede cognitive impairments, making it important to optimize metacognition as early as middle adulthood to promote cognitive communicative well-being.
