Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Case group (mild cognitive impairment); geriatric population with mild cognitive impairment	Other: reaction time test; Reaction time tests consist of 3 sub-parameters as simple reaction time, selective reaction time and distinctive reaction time. Participants will do these tests on the computer.; Other: Physical fitness test; The physical fitness test will be evaluated with the senior fitness test used for geriatrics and the 8 meter walking speed test.
Control Group (healthy elderly); healthy older adults without cognitive impairment	Other: reaction time test; Reaction time tests consist of 3 sub-parameters as simple reaction time, selective reaction time and distinctive reaction time. Participants will do these tests on the computer.; Other: Physical fitness test; The physical fitness test will be evaluated with the senior fitness test used for geriatrics and the 8 meter walking speed test.
