Full description
Cognitive abilities naturally decline as people age, one factor leading to deteriorating psychological health among older adults. Therefore, it is crucial to develop interventions to enhance this population's cognitive abilities and psychological well-being through non-pharmacological complementary treatments. Such interventions should focus on improving these symptoms while replacing traditional therapies.

Given puzzle games' potential to enhance cognitive and psychological health, exploring their effectiveness as a non-pharmacological intervention for community-dwelling older adults is essential. This research aims to fill the gap by empirically investigating the impact of puzzle game strategies on cognitive functioning and psychological well-being in this demographic.
