Abstract
Due to the prevalence of modern technology coupled with an aging population in developed countries, digital literacy among seniors is a common research topic. In addition, cognitive decline is an issue that affects many seniors and will affect their everyday life. This research project aims to study how both healthy and cognitively impaired older adults perceive computerized cognitive intervention tools (CCTs). Both quantitative and qualitative data was collected for this research through interviews, surveys and user testing with caregivers and healthy older adults. Generally, healthy older adults have a positive attitude towards learning new technologies but they face low self-efficacy and anxiety towards digital devices and applications. In order to overcome them, design strategies were suggested to improve the user experience and user interface of such devices. These findings would be helpful in the design of future digital devices as well as CCTs.
