Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Background:

Cognitive decline is a growing concern in aging populations worldwide.
Traditional cognitive training methods have limitations in engagement and accessibility.
Virtual Reality (VR) presents a novel platform for immersive and interactive interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the acceptance and tolerance of a VR-based cognitive training program.
To assess the feasibility of implementing VR for cognitive enhancement in Chinese older adults.

Main Methods:

A VR program with five cognitive training games was developed.
Fourteen Chinese older adults participated in the training.
Tolerance was measured using the Simulated Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ), and acceptance was assessed through post-training surveys.

Main Results:

The VR program was well-tolerated, with a mean SSQ score of 10.42±12.97.
High acceptance rates were observed: 97.6% found VR equipment easy to use, 76.2% reported a positive experience, and 57.1% found VR devices attractive.
Participants included individuals with normal cognitive function (57.1%) and cognitive impairment (42.9%).

Conclusions:

VR-based cognitive training is a safe and well-tolerated intervention for Chinese older adults.
The findings support the potential of VR as an engaging and effective tool for cognitive training in geriatric populations.
No major or severe adverse events were reported, indicating good usability and user experience.
