Abstract
A review of the problems that led to the development of a social simulation game, entitled "Life-Cycle" and an explanation of the objectives of the game and how it is used in the training of health care personnel in geriatrics is presented. Additionally, the results of a controlled experimental evaluation of the game's impact upon participants in terms of change in emotional responses and attitudes toward the elderly is covered.
