Summary

Cognitive function and psychological wellbeing are basic determinants of successful ageing that enable older adults to maintain their health, independence, and autonomy. Reminiscence therapy (RT) is one of the most prevalent evidence-based psychosocial interventions that can enhance older adults' cognitive function and maintain their psychological health. Virtual reality (VR) reminiscence is an innovative strategy that has the advantage of integrating technology in to the care of institutionalized older adults. However, limited researches have been conducted to compare the role of VR reminiscence versus traditional RT on improving older adult's cognitive and psychological wellbeing.
