Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility of using a virtual supermarket as an intervention tool for overcoming deficits in executive function as well as enhancing IADL performance among persons with Mild Cognitive Impairment The working hypotheses are that there will be improvement in executive functions and the improvement in the executive functions will result in better performance in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living both generally and especially in shopping task
Detailed Description:
Scientific and clinical research in the area of Alzheimers disease AD during the last years have shifted their focus to earlier diagnosis and especially to the transitional phase between normal aging and dementia named Mild Cognitive Impairment MCILately the concept of MCI has been expanded to address observed clinical heterogeneity and subtypes were recognized amnestic including memory impairment and non-amnestic including impairment in other non-memory cognitive domains with the later including deficits in executive functioning Executive functions EF are defined as higher order functions that are needed for completing complex or non-routine tasks Deficits in EF refer to a collection of deficits in attention planning problem-solving multitasking monitoring and behavioral control and persons who suffer from impairments in EF typically have difficulty in initiating or suspending activities show impaired mental flexibility as well as increased distractibility and have difficulty in learning novel tasks despite apparently intact cognitive abilities
Lately an increasing amount of studies suggest that persons with MCI might have deficits in EF moreover persons presenting a combination of executive deficits and memory deficits were found to be a high risk group for conversion to AD
