Abstract

In recent years, videogames have demonstrated their positive effects in the psychological treatments and cognitive training of the old population. In this paper we present a pilot study in which a group of elderly people in an old people's home was requested to play a set of cognitive tasks administered through a popular videogames console, the Nintendo Wii®. The results obtained by comparing the Wii® cognitive games with traditional paper and pencil tests are described and discussed to orient further improvements.
