This study explored whether table top games can improve the visuospatial skills of individuals with Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, characterize by gradual disturbance in several cognitive functions such as language, reasoning, memory, and visuospatial skills. Whiles there has been previous research conducted exploring whether video games can improve visuospatial skills, there has been no recent studies directly investigated whether top games can be used to enhance visuospatial skills in individuals with Alzheimer’s. To bridge this gap this study created a table top game focused on visuospatial skills. The results from this study showed that individual’s visuospatial skill improved with usage of a table top game. The results showed that individuals in the hard playing card group were significantly more accurate in the identification of the folded paper, than the individuals in the easy playing card group (p= .003). The results from this experiments can offers a solution to the visuospatial impairment found in previous research.
