Playful Cognitive Training with Physical Interactive Tiles for Elderly

摘要

We propose novel cognitive training which focuses on certain specific cognitive abilities. The training is formed by playing games with physical interactive tiles (the MOTO tiles). A randomized controlled trial was conducted so as to examine the effect of the designed cognitive training program. 19 older adults (some with mild dementia) completed full trial and were analyzed. The results show that our short training (10 sessions of 30 minutes) improved reaction time of Visual Search task, which indicates beneficial effects on attention, scanning and visualization abilities
