Brief Summary:
Computer games are increasingly utilized as tools for studying cognitive skills aging individual differences and development They offer a unique advantage by presenting challenges that more closely mirror the complexities and demands of everyday tasks compared to traditional laboratory experiments clinical tests and standardized assessments Our team took an innovative step in this direction by developing a suite of tablet-based games titled VibrantMinds These games varying in type are designed to measure diverse cognitive indicators acting as proxies for assessments typically conducted using paper-and-pencil tests in clinical settings
VibrantMinds games have been specifically crafted to be user-friendly and engaging for older adults including those with dementia Our studies have shown that these individuals not only find the games accessible but also exhibit measurable improvement in gameplay suggesting potential benefits for cognitive skill training
Building on this foundation we are now poised to conduct an in-depth investigation into the actual effectiveness of serious computer games SCGs for cognitive enhancement and their application in real-world settings for older adults This next phase of research will leverage the VibrantMinds platform to carry out studies aimed at validating software-defined indicators of cognitive function and measuring the impact of game-based interventions on cognitive abilities health-related quality of life and other significant real-life outcomes
The anticipated results promise to expand our understanding of the potential for new technologies in cognitive assessment and intervention Moreover by employing machine learning analysis of the data collected through VibrantMinds we aim to develop a taxonomy that correlates game complexity and player performance with conventional clinical instruments for assessing cognitive status and functioning
