“…Attention and decision-making with respect to physical interventions are linked to cognitive function and performance. Past studies reported that attention and decision-making interventions contribute to cognitive health as well as to successful ageing (Chanbenjapipu et al, 2023;Chuangchai & Siripakarn, 2019;Kelly, 2020).…”

“…Again, the study subject is asked to name the ink colour (Ludwig, Borella, Tettamanti, & Ribaupierre, 2010). A previous study of cognition in ageing people modified the Stroop test by asking the study subjects to name the opposite of both word colour and ink colour and added another item, the colour of the background, to consider (Chuangchai & Siripakarn, 2019). These modifications made the modified Stroop test more complex than the original test, as shown in Figure 1.…”

“…A previous study indicated that ageing people with the Stroop test were able to gain advantages via technological devices e.g. application on a tablet (Chuangchai & Siripakarn, 2019). In terms of the physical intervention, therefore, the Stroop test is suitable to train selective attention amongst ageing people.…”

“…Besides, ageing people have shown a clear improvement in juggling skills and their results are equivalent to those of younger people (Voelcker-Rehage & Willimczik, 2006). By practising Stroop and juggling balls, the qualities of attention and decision are increased (Chuangchai & Siripakarn, 2019). Also, past studies of social intervention suggested that social engagement, social activity, and social support groups or programs contribute to healthy ageing (Fu, Li, & Mao, 2018;Hajek et al, 2017).…”

“…Previous studies indicated that physical interventions (e.g. Stroop test and juggling balls) are associated with the process of successful ageing (Chuangchai & Siripakarn, 2019;Chuangchai, 2017). When compared to younger people, ageing people can enhance their Stroop performance through regular program participation.…”

Environmental design is one of the solutions that supports the idea of successful ageing as well as cognitive health. Designing with environmental interventions offers opportunities for restoration, maintenance, or even enhancement of cognition, particularly in ageing people. Problems of cognitive health, such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia, are frequently and naturally found in ageing people. Design practices and experimental studies in related fields are moving forward at a rapid pace. However, less data are available in relation to design perspectives for cognitive health in the ageing population. This article reviews the benefits of environmental interventions in enhancing cognitive function for ageing people. Relevant English language documents were searched and reviewed through online databases e.g. Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar and ResearchGate. In this review, the environmental interventions include both physical and social environment interventions. The physical interventions focus on selective attention and decision-making via the Stroop effect and juggling balls respectively. The social intervention focuses on positive behaviour and benefits related to volunteerism and volunteer activities. This article presents environmental interventions that can be integrated as normal daily activities for ageing people to live healthier and more cognitively enriching lives. These interventions could be used in wellness design strategies and applications for designers. The findings of this review also extend the boundaries of designing for the ageing population as an advantage for specialists. Designing with an understanding of cognitive health in ageing people is beneficial and recommended.
