Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Cognitive training integrated into leisure activities can increase the training motivation of the elderly, while improving cognitive performance and daily functions. Virtual reality (VR) can simulate daily living situations, and it can be an effective intervention with cognitive training. Although a few studies have found immersive VR cognitive training can improve the cognitive function of the elderly with cognitive decline, these studies have shown inconsistent results. In addition, it is yet not clear the long-term effect of fully immersive VR cognitive training and its impact on daily function. Furthermore, for immersive VR cognitive training, there is still a lack of training programs that integrate into the context of leisure activities. This type of VR cognitive training could help the effectiveness of cognitive training to be transferred into daily functions.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators will recruit 30 elderly with MCI, 30 elderly with SCD, and 15 specialists for the feasibility and usability study. They will receive one immersive leisure-based VR cognitive training for 30 minutes. VR cognitive training receives four gardening activities. The cognitive elements including attention, working memory, processing speed, and executive function incorporated training. The investigators will use the Acceptance of the Virtual Reality (VR) Experience Questionnaire and System Usability Scales. For effectiveness study, the investigators will recruit 60 elderly with MCI and 70 elderly with SCD. Participants will be randomly assigned to VR group and control group. All participants will receive trainings for 60 minutes per day, two days per week for 16 sessions. The content of VR training is the same as before. The control group is performing traditional cognitive training program. The primary cognitive outcome measurements will include the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Wechsler Memory Scale, Stroop test, and color trials test. Other outcomes will include measurements that evaluate the cognitive, daily functions, and quality of life of elderly with MCI and SCD. Participants will be assessed at baseline, after the intervention, and at 3-month follow-up. Repeated measures of analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used to evaluate the changes in outcome measures at three different time points.
The investigators anticipate the VR training can facilitate cognitive function, daily function, and quality of life. The significance of this study is identifying the effect of immersive VR cognitive training based on leisure activities, and it is appropriate to provide this training for elderly with MCI and SCD. It could delay and prevent the progression to dementia and lead the field of technological assistance to new opportunities for training.
