| Research Abstract |
The present study was concerned with the neuropsychological assessment and the cognitive rehabilitation for the cognitive deficits of brain infarcted patients and cerebral palsy, using the personal computer based cognitive tasks. In this study, four main cognitive tasks were developed to assess the cognitive disorder processed of the hemispatial neglect patients, right hemisphere infarcted patients and left ones.
They are the visual search task of color-shape conjunction stimuli to assess the attentional deficit, the embedded figure task to assess the figure-groud segregation deficit, the priming task to assess the visual image deficit, and the temporal-spatial integration task to assess the working memory deficits respectively. It was found that these tasks could assess the natures of cognitive deficits processes of right and left brain damaged patients as well as apply as the tools of cognitive rehabilitation.
With respect to the application of the computer based cognitive assessment to the cerebral palsy, it was found that it is very important to develop the amplified sensors of the remained responses, which the cerebral palsy could do the constant and stable output. In our study, there found many electric sensor to fit the various types of the remained response. We could get the suggestion that the personal computer based assessment and cognitive rehabilitation could apply to the cognitive deficit of cerebral palsy through the interface of electric sensors.
