Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.
This field emerged in the mid-20th century, following a period dominated by behaviorism, which...

Background:

Serious games show promise for cognitive training in elderly individuals with cognitive impairments.
Existing cognitive games often lack user engagement and personalized difficulty, leading to early dropout.
There is a need for accessible, motivating, and adaptive cognitive training tools for the elderly population.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and develop a web-based, AI-driven serious game with playful elements for elderly users.
To enhance user motivation, accessibility, and engagement through personalized difficulty adjustment.
To assess the usability and effectiveness of the AI-based cognitive exercise game in an eight-week pilot study.

Main Methods:

An eight-week pilot experiment involving 37 participants aged 60-80.
Development of a serious game with playful elements and AI-based adaptive difficulty.
Usability assessment and cognitive function evaluation using scales like the Korean version of mini-mental state examination (MMSE).

Main Results:

The AI-based cognitive exercise game was found to be acceptable, interesting, and motivating for elderly users.
An eight-week training period correlated with lower cognitive assessment scores, indicating improved cognitive function.
Positive effects were observed on the geriatric quality of life scale and geriatric depression scale.

Conclusions:

The elderly-centered serious game with AI-driven personalization is a viable and effective tool for cognitive training in clinical settings.
The game offers a more enjoyable and medically effective approach to cognitive rehabilitation for the elderly.
Future research should explore advanced AI and visualization for enhanced elderly-focused cognitive training tools.
