  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.

++Groenewoud et al. showed that there is a potential for people with dementia to play casual games on a tablet as a pleasant and meaningful recreational activity. Their study revealed positive experiences such as a sense of achievement, sense of connection and belonging, feeling intellectually stimulated and improved self esteem. Negative experiences included low failure, annoyance and a sense of insecurity.
