Summary

This study validates a serious game for assessing cognitive speed and response inhibition. The game, with added distractors, accurately measures the ability to inhibit responses, aiding in executive function assessment.

Background:

Previous research established a serious target acquisition game for cognitive speed assessment.
Performance on the game was previously linked to a reduced risk of delirium onset.

Purpose of the Study:

To validate a modified serious game that assesses response inhibition ability.
To determine if the game, incorporating distractors, measures response inhibition.

Main Methods:

An experiment was conducted with 30 healthy participants.
Game performance was compared against a standard Go/No-Go discrimination task.
The game included targets to hit and distractors to ignore.

Main Results:

The modified serious game, with distractors, successfully assessed response inhibition ability.
Results indicate the game is a valid measure of response inhibition.

Conclusions:

The validated serious game can assess executive functions, particularly response inhibition.
This tool has implications for elderly cognitive assessment and neuro-rehabilitation.
It may also evaluate declining activities of daily living performance.
