The Benefits of Nostalgia-Based Virtual Reality Brain Health Interventions on Nostalgia Tendencies, Life Satisfaction, Psychological Well-Being, Depression Levels, and Cognitive Function in Older Adults

"The Brain Health Nostalgic VR Program is a culturally tailored virtual reality intervention integrating nostalgic content from Taiwanese culture (e.g., vintage photographs, familiar objects, historical TV clips, traditional settings) with interactive cognitive training tasks. The program targets seven cognitive domains: attention, imagination and creativity, observation, memory, reasoning, reading comprehension, and thinking. Each weekly session spans 60-90 minutes, with 10-30 minutes of actual VR use based on participant tolerance, each participant will use VR for no more than 30 minutes per session before taking a break. The intervention is delivered once per week over a 12-week period in long-term care settings, with researcher support provided throughout."
