VESPA 2.0 is based on an integrative and ecological approach used for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in patients with MCI or other neurodegenerative disorders.
The goal of this study is to verify the effectiveness of the intensive-individual cognitive participation intervention (SCI-i) on the general cognitive functioning and specific cognitive functions of patients with mild or moderate cognitive decline affected by Alzheimer's dementia, Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis. Participants will be subjected to cognitive training (tasks on attention, memory, language, executive functions, and visual-spatial functions) through software. They will take place using virtual cameras and virtual reality (VR) viewers. All subjects will undergo follow-up evaluation.

Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA)
MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment or The MoCA Test) was validated as a highly sensitive tool for early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) It quickly and accurately assesses: Short term memory; Visuospatial abilities; Executive functions; Attention, concentration, and working memory; Language; Orientation to time and place Results : 26-30 points: No cognitive impairment 18-25 points: Mild cognitive impairment. 10-17 points: Moderate cognitive impairment. Fewer than 10 points: Severe cognitive impairment.
