Abstract
There is promising evidence that improving cognitive function in older adults can delay or reduce incidence of dementia. We have completed a game-based training with healthy older adults that improved cognitive function with some transfer to practical function. Long-term follow-up will evaluate impact of this training on risk of dementia.
