Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Older adults who are aged 65 and above with typical cognition or MCI as reported by themselves, or a health care professional.
- Older adults participating in this study must have MoCA score of 18 or higher.
- Older adults participating in the study must have functional vision and hearing, with or without aids such as glasses or hearing aids that enable them to interact with the game and comprehend the instructions. As part of the study recruitment activities, the researcher will explain the tasks required and discuss the vision and hearing demands.
- Older adults participating in the study must be capable of communicating and comprehending assessments, instructions, and simple sentences in English, as communication and comprehension is essential for interacting effectively with game components and the researcher. To assess their communication, reading, and comprehension skills, the researcher will provide participants with a few sentences in English related to the game content. Participants will be asked to read these sentences aloud and explain the meaning of the sentence to confirm their ability to read and understand the content.
- Older adults participating in the study must have adequate upper extremity function to play the game, using a mouse and do paper-and-pencil based measurements, using a pencil. During the study's introduction and training part of the game, potential participants can report any physical limitations. The researcher will also screen for these
Exclusion
- • Older adults currently suffering from Influenza, COVID-19, or any other viral illness at the time of data collection that could impair their performance will be excluded. These conditions could impair their performance, potentially affecting the reliability of the outcomes. Additionally, the presence of such illnesses could pose a health risk to other participants who use the same equipment, as well as to the researcher.
