Abstract
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is cognitive decline before one is naturally expected to have age-related cognitive decline but not severe enough that it affects a person’s daily routine or life. MCI is often a precursor to the various forms of dementia before the symptoms are manifest and diagnosed. If MCI could be reliably assessed, the prognosis of more serious decline may be improved. This thesis will discuss the development of a serious game denoted War Cognitive Assessment Tool or WarCAT, with the objective being to aid in the early detection of MCI. This thesis will also overview contributions to papers published, as well as the work done on the previous iteration of WarCAT denoted War Data on Gambling (WarDOG) whose purpose is to help in the study of gambling and gaming addictions.
