Treat Memory Condition by A Training App - Game Show

Many people have noticed they always forget something. Actually, people's memory getting worse under the great pressure of life. Don't worry, Cambridge scientists have developed a training app used to treat memory condition. More details available in the following contents.

Researchers used an app called Game Show to treat people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment. Amnestic mild cognitive impairment, which is characterised by problems with short-term memory worse than expected for a person of that age, can be the first sign of dementia. But not everyone with this condition will go on to develop full-blown dementia. 

The app game involved associating different geometric patterns with different locations. The small study, involving 42 adults, found playing games on the app for eight hours over four weeks improved the participants' performance in memory tests. The team noted that patients who played the game made around a third fewer errors, needed fewer trials and improved their memory score by around 40%, showing that they had correctly remembered the locations of more information at the first attempt on a test of episodic memory. 
 
The participants also reported that they enjoyed playing the games and were motivated to continue using the app after the study ended. This would be important if the game was prescribed to help people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment in real life. This research is in its very early stages. It's not yet clear whether the game would be able to improve the symptoms of people with this condition in everyday life, or slow the development of dementia.

In the game, the player takes part in a game show to win gold coins. In each round, they are challenged to associate different geometric patterns with different locations. Each correct answer allows the player to earn more coins. Rounds continue until completion or after six incorrect attempts are made. The better the player gets, the higher the number of geometric patterns presented—this helps tailor the difficulty of the game to the individual's performance to keep them motivated and engaged.
