Research Abstract |
We have developed the training material to improve cognitive skill of children with developmental disorder. Since visually handicapped children often have developmental disorder at the same time, we have newly developed special tactile materials and conducted study with the examinees such as children with developmental disorder, blind children, and university students. Activity such as carry in mathematical calculation is known as the function of working memory. The training material was developed to improve the working memory function. The part of the present study showed certain effects on the examinees, and the tactile matrix task enhanced the motivation of visually handicapped children.
