Brief Summary

This single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial includes 32 elderly. The participants were randomized to intervention(Happy Table) and control(cognitive stimulation activity) groups. Each group is divided in 16 participants. In one session, participants in the Happy Table group completed 40 minutes of intervention using Happy Table serious game, whereas those in the Control group completed 40 minutes of cognitive stimulation game.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from baseline performance on Stroop test (Neuropsychological test) after the intervention (Day 13).

  It measures a participant's processing speed, selective attention and inhibitory control. The participant will be asked to read 'word' of the colored words or 'name of the color' of the colored words in separate trials. The main scores produced in this test are completion time and errors. The contrast score of the two trial's completion time means interference.

  Baseline, After the intervention (Day 13)

Secondary Outcomes (12)

• Change from baseline performance on Fluency Test (Neuropsychological test) after the intervention (Day 13).

  Baseline, After the intervention (Day 13)

• Change from baseline performance on Trail Making Test (Neuropsychological test) after the intervention (Day 13).

  Baseline, After the intervention (Day 13)

• Change from baseline performance on Digit Span Test (Neuropsychological test) after the intervention (Day 13).

  Baseline, After the intervention (Day 13)

• Change from baseline performance on Auditory Verbal Learning test (Neuropsychological test) after the intervention (Day 13).

  Baseline, After the intervention (Day 13)

• Change from baseline activity on functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) during the intervention(Day 1 and 12)and after intervention completion(Day 12)

  Baseline, during the intervention(Day 1 and 12), Through intervention completion(Day 12)

Study Arms (2)

Functional digital game training group

EXPERIMENTAL

These functional digital game programs have been developed to improve the intelligence and vitality in the community-dwelling elderly. The program includes sub-categories such as attention, working memory, memory and executive functions with various levels of difficulty.

Behavioral: Functional digital game training group

Individual cognitive training

EXPERIMENTAL

Individual cognitive training has been used to improve the intelligence and cognitive function in community-dwelling elderly. The program includes sub-categories such as attention, working memory, memory and executive functions with various levels of difficulty.

Behavioral: Individual cognitive training

Interventions

Functional digital game training group BEHAVIORAL

Functional digital game training group is divided in 16 participants. In one session, participants in the functional digital game training group completed 40 minutes of intervention using various functional digital game such as working memory, memory, and attention. (Total 10 session)

Functional digital game training group

Individual cognitive training BEHAVIORAL

Functional digital game training group is divided in 16 participants. In one session, participants in the individual cognitive training group completed 40 minutes of intervention using various cognitive training such as working memory, memory, and attention. (Total 10 session)
