Although executive functioning (EF) was found to be associated with cognitive deterioration, the majority of the tests for assessing EF lack ecological validity.
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).
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.
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.
MCI patients have EF deficits, and the VAP-S is a viable tool to assess EF deficits in patients with MCI and healthy elderly.
尽管执行功能（EF）被发现与认知衰退有关，但大多数评估执行功能的测试缺乏生态效度。
检验虚拟行动计划超市（VAP-S）用于诊断轻度认知障碍（MCI）患者的可行性和效度。
比较30例MCI患者（平均年龄 = 69.5岁）和30例健康老年人（平均年龄 = 69.2岁）在VAP-S测试中的表现。
在VAP-S的大多数测量指标上，两组之间存在显著差异。简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）和轨迹持续时间的组合为两组提供了最佳的预测分类。
MCI患者存在执行功能缺陷，VAP-S是评估MCI患者和健康老年人执行功能缺陷的可行工具。
