Abstract

Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment is one of the most common cognitive deficits in old age, including impaired Working memory. The present study aims to evaluate a Cognitive empowerment program using Virtual reality technology to improve these people’ s visual and verbal Working memory. Methods: The present study belongs to quasi-experimental designs in terms of the data collection method. In this study, the experimental design of pre-test-post-test and follow-up with the control group has been used. In this study, 30 patients with Mild cognitive impairment were randomly divided into control (n=15) and experimental (n=15) groups. Subscales of digit span and symbol span were performed in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up after one month to examine Working memory. The intervention included a Virtual reality-based program designed for ten sessions, three sessions per week. Results: The repeated measures analysis of variance showed a significant difference between the experimental and control bands in digit and symbol span. There was a significant difference between the mean digit span in the pre-test stage with the two post-test and follow-up stages, as well as the two post-test and follow-up stages. The results also indicated that a significant effect was reported on the average of the symbol span over time. The mean symbol span in the pre-test stage was significantly different from the two post-test and follow-up stages. However, no significant difference was observed between the two stages of post-test and follow-up. Conclusion: The results revealed that Cognitive empowerment based on Virtual reality technology could improve Working memory, and the durability of the effect was observed in the follow-up one month later in the digit span.
