简要总结
This research was carried out with the objective of verifying the possibility of intervention through cognitive training protocols to assist in the stimulation of neurons and to delay the degradation resulting from Alzheimer's disease in its initial phase. The specific objective of this research was to develop and validate a virtual environment of games (called SorrisoTur) that allows the intervention of cognitive training.
详细描述
SorrisoTur encompasses cognitive training concepts and protocols in playful situations, which were coded in the form of 2D mini-games that are run on a computer connected to the Web, and designed to stimulate cognitive domains, such as memory, executive functions, spatial-visual skills, language (expression, comprehension, reading, and writing) and personality/behavior. For the comparison of results, three groups were created; one group of elderly people with Alzheimer's disease at an early stage, one group formed by healthy elderly, and another group with young people and applied Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Adults (WAIS-III) before and after of interventions with the games.

结局指标
主要结局
Change on Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Adults (WAIS-III)
时间窗: Baseline and after 4 weeks
The WAIS-III is an intellectual assessment that aims to analise the measures of the following Factorial Scales and Indexes: Verbal IQ (intelligence quotient), Execution IQ, Total IQ, Verbal Understanding Index, Perceptual Organization Indexes, Operational Memory Indexes and Processing speed index.
Change on Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)
时间窗: Baseline and after 4 weeks
The MMSE is a data collection instrument widely used in cases of dementia, it evaluates temporal and spatial orientation, short-term memory (immediate or attention) and skills of evocation, calculation, praxis, visuospatial, communication and language.
