Twenty one elderly participants (9 MCI and 12 AD, including 14 outpatients and 7 patients living in nursing homes, as well as 11 apathetic and 10 non-apathetic) took part in a 1-month trail, including a clinical and neuropsychological assessment, and 4-week training where the participants were free to play as long as they wanted on a personal tablet. The game is installed on a tablet, to be flexibly employed at home and in nursing homes. In this game a cooking plot is employed to assess and stimulate executive functions (such as planning abilities) and praxis. In the present study we examined the acceptability of 'Kitchen and cooking' - a SG developed in the context of the EU project VERVE () - in these populations. Recently there has been a growing interest in employing serious games (SGs) for the assessment and rehabilitation of elderly people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and related disorders.
