Abstract
South Korea now has one of the lowest birth-rates in the world and one of the most rapidly aging populations. In such an aging society, the most representative disease threatening the quality of old person’s life is ’Alzheimer’s disease’. In this paper, we will propose a screening test based on game technology. And, this game will be designed by applying Fitt’s law and Hick’s law to test cognitive function.
