5	5	Torrente et al. performs a conceptual review on designing serious games that can help students with cognitive impairments. Creating virtual worlds that can be used as a safe learning environment in which students can freely explore at their own pace while being in the zone of optimal flow for knowledge improvement. This can have a positive impact on students with attention deficit, which is usually a disability that can severely hamper learning. In our use case, people affected by dementia tend to show a decline in attention and reasoning abilities. Research has shown that if people with dementia play games that stimulate reasoning and recall by creating a conducive learning environment, their cognitive capabilities tend to improve over time.

	9	+Kartheka et al. investigated the impact of COSMA games on the emotional changes in people with early dementia. Their study indicates that these games tend to trigger specific positive responses such as 'keenness' and 'confidence' whilst decreasing certain negative responses such as 'irritable' and 'anxiety'. As the game progresses, people with dementia showed signs of reduced fear and anxiety, which are common emotions that occur due to the degrading nature of their disease. This was possible due to the games having positive stimulants such as family and friends-based pleasant memories and familiar game activities.
