Research limitations/implications – The results are an encouragement for conducting further testing (on a larger test group, over a longer time) and continuing with game development for cognitively impaired older adults. A similar game trial will also be arranged for a younger population with ...
100 sessions in 12,000 subjects aged 60 to over 80 years. Users who trained with the games improved regardless of age in terms of scores and processing speed throughout the 100 sessions, suggesting that old and very old adults can improve their cognitive performance using CMG in real-life ...
The conceptual framework comprises four sectors that may be used to guide game design and development: an MCI player profile that represents the capabilities of a player with MCI, core gaming elements that support gameful and playful activities, therapeutic elements that support cognitive and physical...
First, a discussion of the relationship between cognitive and physical health shows the increasing weight given to the role of declines in cognition in the development of dependency in older adult population studies. Second, evidence that cognitive training produces 'far transfer' in elders is ...

57. Even before the development of brain training apps the efficacy of computer training and internet usage on cognitive abilities in older adults had already been highlighted58. Indeed compared to traditional brain training computers, smartphones, and virtual environments offer interesting possibilities ...
Older adults and the elderly have an increased risk of suffering from some type of disease that affects the cognitive state. The active aging exercises work to improve well-being and quality of life as we age, helping to improve the development of an independent and healthy life. ...
These findings show that older adults can be trained to deal with the complexity of the SF task but that overall SF performance, and the ability to capitalize on EC instructions, differs when a basic ability such as motor control is low. Hence, the development of this training program as a...
There are two main research questions: (1) Which cognitive outcomes of computerized tests showed significantly large group differences between MCI and normal adults or between dementia and normal adults, indicating they have the potential to become sensitive digital cognitive biomarkers for MCI and ...
version of NeuroRacer in multitasking training mode, older adults (60 to 85 years old) reduced multitasking costs compared to both an active control group and a no-contact control group, attaining levels beyond those achieved by untrained 20-year-old participants, with gains persisting for 6 ...
