  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>&lt;i&gt;Background:&lt;/i&gt; Although executive functioning (EF) was found to be associated with cognitive deterioration, the majority of the tests for assessing EF lack ecological validity. &lt;i&gt;Aims:&lt;/i&gt; To examine the feasibility and the validity of the virtual action planning supermarket (VAP-S) for the diagnosis of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). &lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt; Thirty MCI patients (mean age = 69.5 years) were compared to 30 healthy elderly persons (mean age = 69.2 years) in their performance of the VAP-S. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt; Significant differences were found between the groups in the majority of the measures of the VAP-S. The combination of the MMSE and the trajectory duration provided the best predictive classification for the groups. &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/i&gt; MCI patients have EF deficits, and the VAP-S is a viable tool to assess EF deficits in patients with MCI and healthy elderly.</jats:p>
