Summary
The primary objective of this program is to apply a virtual reality (VR) cognitive-motor intervention (compared to active and passive control groups) to delay or slow cognitive decline of middle-aged adults who have a family history of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and thus are at particularly high risk of developing the disease.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BEHAVIORAL | cognitive training by virtual reality | |
| BEHAVIORAL | watching a scientific TV documentary | |
| DEVICE | treadmill | VR cognitive training will be augmented by walking on a treadmill, since it is well established that dual tasking-i.e. performing the VR-based cognitive effort together with a motor task, even as simple as walking on a treadmill-places greater demand on cognitive resources than a "single task". |
