Summary

This study tests whether a virtual reality game can help older adults with mild cognitive disorders improve their inhibitory control—the ability to stop and think before acting. 48 participants will play the game either on a VR headset or a tablet for 20 minutes, twice a week for 4 weeks. The main goal is to see if people find the VR version acceptable and easy to use.
