Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to demonstrate a proof of concept concerning the design and implementation of a simulation that replicates a real world environment in order to evaluate a complex task of shopping within a mall while measuring cognitive, motor and metabolic aspects of the task. The paper presents the experimental protocol and results from four young healthy and two elderly adults who performed the Multiple Errands Test in both simulated and real world
settings. These initial findings show the feasibility of the protocol in both environments.
