Abstract

A dual-task paradigm with two primary tasks (visual and haptic) combined with two secondary tasks (visual and haptic) was used to assess visual-haptic working memory (WM) in young adults, older healthy adults, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) adults. A corsi haptic device was constructed to avoid the use of vision while performing the haptic WM tasks. The MCI group obtained the smallest span measures on both modalities, and their poorer performance was on the haptic tasks
