Social features in cognitive training for older adults show mixed results. While enhancing usability, they did not significantly boost adherence, highlighting challenges in maintaining long-term engagement for cognitive health.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Cognitive Health
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Cognitive decline and dementia are growing public health concerns with an aging population.
  • Non-pharmacologic interventions like cognitive training show promise but face adherence challenges.
  • Social interaction features may enhance engagement in digital health interventions for seniors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of social interaction features (leaderboard, chat) on cognitive training adherence in older adults.
  • To assess the association between social features, social connectedness, adherence, self-efficacy, and usability.
  • To explore the usability and efficacy of a gamified cognitive training system (Mind Frontier) with social components.

  • A single-group, pre-post pilot study with 24 participants aged 65+.
  • Four-week intervention using a tablet-based gamified cognitive training program with social features.
  • Data collection included adherence metrics, usability ratings, loneliness scale, and self-efficacy measures.

    • Main Results:

    • Adherence to cognitive training declined over the four-week intervention period.
    • Frequent users of social features rated the system more favorably but showed no significant adherence increase.
    • A slight increase in loneliness and decrease in self-efficacy were observed post-intervention; higher adherence correlated with decreased loneliness.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating social interaction into cognitive training shows potential for improving usability and connectedness but faces challenges in sustaining adherence.
    • Further research is needed to develop strategies for maintaining long-term engagement in technology-based cognitive interventions for older adults.
    • Findings suggest a need for enhanced support and interactive features to address declining self-efficacy and increasing loneliness.
