The study used a non-equivalent control group and pretest-posttest design. The study participants were 80 elderly aged 65 or over (40 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group) from P city. Participants in the experimental group were provided the Memory Training Program. The program was conducted 90 minutes, once a week .for 8 weeks. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test using SPSS version 23.0. As a result of this study, the Memory Training Program for community dwelling elderly has been effective in improving subjective health status(t=-4.06, p<.001), reducing Hwabyung(t=-4.34, p<.001), and increasing the use of memory strategies(t=-2.18, p=.029) among memory related factors.
