This project will use cognitive psychology, the television medium and advanced interactive Information Computer Technology (ICT) to enable older adults to actively and autonomously participate in mind fitness activities while sitting in front of their TV set. The research question of whether cognitive training will prove more beneficial if trained in de-contextualized, contextualized settings or in both settings will be verified using randomized, double-blind methodology. This home-based tool would be inexpensive and easy to use for healthy or handicapped individuals. (en)
