Abstract: There is evidence that shows that playing digital games has cognitive benefits for older adults. However, to reap these cognitive benefits, barriers that prevent full participation in gameplay must be overcome. This position paper describes the cognitive benefits of digital gaming for older people, outlines some of the obstacles they may face when playing digital games, and offers strategies that could help reduce these barriers so more older adults could enjoy the benefits of playing digital games.
