Impaired cognitive function is observed in many pathologies, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease. At present, the pharmaceutical treatments available to counter cognitive decline have only modest effects, with significant side effects. A nonpharmacological treatment that has received considerable attention is computerized cognitive training CCT , which aims to maintain or improve cognitive functioning through repeated practice in standardized exercises.
CCT allows for more regular and thorough training of cognitive functions directly at home, which represents a significant opportunity to prevent and fight cognitive decline. To compensate for the absence of a therapist during at-home CCT, a relevant option could be to include a virtual assistant to accompany patients throughout their training.
The objective of this exploratory study was to evaluate the interest of including a virtual assistant to accompany patients during CCT. We investigated the relationship between various individual factors eg, age, psycho-affective functioning, personality, personal motivations, and cognitive skills and the appreciation and usefulness of a virtual assistant during CCT. All participants were invited to the laboratory to answer several questionnaires and perform 1 CCT session, which consisted of 4 cognitive exercises supervised by a virtual assistant animated by a human pilot via the Wizard of Oz method.
The participants evaluated the virtual assistant and CCT at the end of the session. Analyses were performed using the Bayesian framework. The results suggest that the virtual assistant was appreciated and perceived as useful during CCT in both age groups.
However, older adults rated the assistant and CCT more positively overall than young adults. Certain characteristics of users, especially their current affective state ie, arousal, intrinsic relevance, goal conduciveness, and anxiety state , appeared to be related to their evaluation of the session. This study provides, for the first time, insight into how young and older adults perceive a virtual assistant during CCT.
