Summary

This study tested whether an 8-week course taught by a robot could help prevent or delay cognitive decline in older adults with mild memory problems. 80 people aged 65 and older took part, with half attending robot-led classes and the other half receiving no intervention. The program included lessons, interactive games, and quizzes, and researchers measured changes in thinking skills, mood, social engagement, and loneliness.
