Brief Summary: This research project will assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a 6-week intervention to improve cognitive functions using the 3D immersive virtual reality software CEREBRUM with virtual sailing scenarios among elderly with mild cognitive impairment CEREBRUM developed by PRoMIND in association with IDEGO is the first European tool for enhancing cognitive functions via 3D immersive virtual reality in psychosocial disabilities Previous studies have shown its effectiveness in improving cognitive functions and well-being in people with bipolar disorders The software includes modules for memory learning cognitive estimations attention working memory and executive functions For this study the software was developed with sailing virtual scenarios to make it more enjoyable and engaging as well as to train other cognitive functions such as motor skills and language abilities among people with disabilities
Detailed Description: Research on active aging has been identified as a priority particularly concerning the feasibility and effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions aimed at preventing andor delaying cognitive decline Risk factors such as physical cognitive and social inactivity are estimated to account for about 40 of the risk of developing dementia in the lifetime Recent reviews have shown that cognitive remediation interventions are effective in improving cognitive performance in older adults with and without cognitive decline

Cognitive remediation is a behavior-based training intervention aimed at improving cognitive functions memory attention executive functions social cognition and metacognition to achieve lasting results and their generalization There is substantial evidence supporting the effectiveness of such interventions in neuropsychological disorders such as dementia mild cognitive impairment and behavioral disorders

In recent years there has been an increase in the use of immersive 3D virtual reality software in clinical and rehabilitative settings as tools for rehabilitation and the improvement of various skills To date there are few studies where immersive 3D virtual reality is used to enhance cognitive functions related to personal and social functioning especially to prevent cognitive decline in older adults aged 65 and over

This research project will assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a 6-week intervention to improve cognitive functions using the 3D immersive virtual reality software CEREBRUM with sailing scenarious among elderly with mild cognitive impairment
