Virtual Reality Training for Inhibitory Control in Neurocognitive Disorders

Brief Summary

Executive function disorders, such as inhibitory control (IC) difficulties, are very common in older adults with neurocognitive disorders (NCD). Management of these disorders is possible using traditional tools and tools based on new technologies, such as serious games and virtual reality (VR). However, today, few immersive tools exist that are specifically focused on IC training. The present study aims to evaluate the acceptability of an immersive application focused on IC in 48 patients with neurocognitive disorders. Participants that will test either an immersive (VR-headset) or a non-immersive (tablet) version of the application for 4 weeks, twice a week, and fill-in acceptability related questionnaires before, during and after the end of the intervention.
