Prevalence of Cognitive Impairment in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment can be considered as an intermediate clinical state between normal cognitive aging and mild dementia. Elderly people with this impairment represent an at-risk group for the development of dementia. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cognitive impairment in community-dwelling older adults by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and ...
متن کاملCognitive Modeling for Computer Games
One of the major challenges associated with making compelling virtual worlds for computer games is populating them with intelligent characters. Most of today’s characters are mindless automatons that follow an inflexible set of simple rules. Unfortunately, when we start to make characters try and think for themselves we can run into difficulties. For example, if we are not extra careful about h...
متن کاملEffect of Group Physical Games on Life Quality of Older Adults at Adult Daycare Centers

متن کاملComputer acceptance of older adults.
Even though computers play a massive role in everyday life of modern societies, older adults, and especially older women, are less likely to use a computer, and they perform fewer activities on it than younger adults. To get a better understanding of the factors affecting older adults' intention towards and usage of computers, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology (UTAUT) was...
متن کاملCognitive Modeling for Computer Games and Animation
Modeling for computer animation addresses the challenge of automating a variety of difficult animation tasks. An early milestone was the combination of geometric models and inverse kinematics to simplify keyframing. Physical models for animating particles, rigid bodies, deformable solids, and fluids offer copious quantities of realistic motion through dynamic simulation. Biomechanical modeling ...
