Computer-based cognitive training programs are increasing in popularity, not only due to trends in technological advances, but also due to the intense marketing campaigns of such programs toward late-middle-aged and older adults. This article's objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-based cognitive training programs in maintaining or improving cognitive function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). Twelve databases were searched using terms related to computerized cognitive training (CCT) and MCI and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Two raters independently extracted articles using agreed-upon criteria. Due to the heterogeneity of the samples, interventions, and outcomes, data of the studies was not statistically pooled for meta-analysis. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria and the findings were summarized. All of the studies reviewed provided support that computerized cognitive interventions are feasible in people with MCI or early-stage AD. None of the studies yielded significant evidence to support the use of CCT alone for improvement or maintenance of cognitive function in people with MCI or AD. Further, no studies presented significant evidence of transfer of training to everyday skills and tasks. Recommendations for evaluating products and for areas of research need are provided.

Abstract Delaying the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease by five years could save the U.S. ~$89 billion by 2030. Aerobic exercise and cognitive training are two promising interventions for AD prevention and the two together may have a synergistic cognitive effect than either alone. The purposes of this study were to develop an integrated virtual-reality cognitive training (VRCT) and cycling intervention known as exergame and test its feasibility in older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD). The VRCT included grocery shopping from a list, flower shopping from a list, dinnerware sorting, book sorting, and postage estimation. Twelve participants enrolled in the 1-month program (12 sessions) achieved 81.2% session adherence and 81.4% adherence to the exercise prescription. The exergame was well accepted by 75% of the participants and 100% were satisfied with the exergame quality and delivery. To conclude, exergame is a flexible intervention that is feasible for older adults with SCD.

Design Strategies

Alzheimer’s disease (hereinafter referred to as AD) has become a major global health problem for the elderly. Combining with the current computer-aided design system design for prevention and training of Alzheimer’s disease is one of the important ways to solve this problem. This study aims at the early subjective cognitive decline of Alzheimer’s disease (hereinafter referred to as SCD) . Through investigation and research, the behavior and psychological characteristics of SCD elderly are sorted out, and the main functions of cognitive training system are located. The main functions, interactions, colors and layout of the current cognitive system are summarized by analyzing the existing cognitive training system, and compared with the research results, a more reasonable system function, interaction mode, interface color and layout are determined. Therefore, the cognitive training system design strategy based on the behavioral and psychological characteristics of SCD elderly is summarized.

Main goal of this chapter is the development of computerized cognitive exercises for rehabilitation of patients with Alzheimer's disease. More specifically, in traditional rehabilitation settings cognitive exercises are administered by using the paper-and-pencil procedure. This chapter is focused on the transferring of these interventions to an electronic form, enriched with multimedia and interactions that cannot be achieved in the printed form. The presented work tries to automate the procedure and facilitate the psychologist's work. Computer-based intervention programs can exploit all the possibilities of adjusting the difficulty levels of exercise, the speed, the images, using audible signals, accelerating the processing of results for psychologists and much more that add value to creation of such programs. This chapter explores whether and how this kind of exercises can be successfully transferred in an electronic form.
