“…Computerised cognitive training is widely available for the preservation of cognitive function in older adults [3] , [4] , [5] but computer and internet use decrease sharply with age, even in affluent countries [6] , [7] , [8] . Social, financial, cognitive, or psychological barriers [6] , [9] impede seniors' use of computer-based information technology, and increased stress and decreased self-efficacy loom large in their interactions with computers [10] . Television (TV) via a TV set, however, remains by far the most popular medium viewed by Europeans [11] and the elderly report being most comfortable with it [12] .…”

The main study objective was to investigate the effect of interactive television-based cognitive training on cognitive performance of 119 healthy older adults, aged 60–87 years. Participants were randomly allocated to a cognitive training group or to an active control group in a single-blind controlled two-group design. Before and after training interactive television cognitive performance was assessed on well validated tests of fluid, higher-order ability, and system usability was evaluated. The participants in the cognitive training group completed a television-based cognitive training programme, while the participants in the active control group completed a TV-based programme of personally benefiting activities. Significant improvements were observed in well validated working memory and executive function tasks in the cognitive training but not in the control group. None of the groups showed statistically significant improvement in life satisfaction score. Participants' reports of “adequate” to “high” system usability testify to the successful development and implementation of the interactive television-based system and compliant cognitive training contents. The study demonstrates that cognitive training delivered by means of an interactive television system can generate genuine cognitive benefits in users and these are measurable using well-validated cognitive tests. Thus, older adults who cannot use or afford a computer can easily use digital interactive television to benefit from advanced software applications designed to train cognition.

“…In the paper by (Nap et al (2013), see this volume) discusses the role of self-effi cacy, which can be infl uenced by many factors such as experience and cognitive ability. In terms of cognitive ability, the paper stresses that age tends to reduce levels of self-effi cacy, which in turn places demands on the UI such that they should proffer positive reinforcement whenever possible to enhance self-effi cacy and reduce stress induced UI interactions.…”

Abstract:The endophenotype concept was introduced into the literature by Gottesman and Gould in 1973 to bridge the gap between complex multi-factorial disease processes and the underlying genetic basis for such diseases. The concept has been useful in developing a more comprehensive approach to understanding a number of disease processes through the application of extra-genetic analytical approaches. The approach focuses on aspects of disease processes that are more directly linked to measurable functionand hence will tend to be more informative with respect to disease process identifi cation than the complex genetics which ultimately may underlie the disease process. The concept has been applied most rigorously to identifying psychopathologies such as schizophrenia. Recent work has established its successful application to a wider range of cognitive disorders such as major depression and anti-social behaviour. In the process, a considerable body of cognitive processing features has been elucidated in the context of investigating the cognitive basis for these cognitive disorders. These cognitive processing features have been termed 'endophenocognitypes.' This concept retains the scientifi c framework proposed by Gottesman, but emphasizes the building blocks relevant to cognitive functioning directly. The focus in this paper is to discuss why the endophenocognitypes might should be deployed in the context of modelling and the subsequent development of UIs. Keywords:affective computing; cognitive performance support; endophenocognitype; endophenotype; man-machine interaction; user interface design.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Revett, K. (2013) Biographical note:The author is an associate professor at the British University in Egypt, where he teaches a variety of subjects within the computational neuroscience and artifi cial intelligence domains. His research focuses on the deployment of cognitive signals for UI interactions and related topics such as game play, artifi cial intelligence based game engine design and EEG signal processing. He received his PhD in computational neuroscience from the University of Maryland, College Park, USA in 1999. Since that time, he has engaged in studies examining the role of the brain in person/machine interactions.
