Adaptive cognitive rehabilitation

pp. 75-93

Abstract

Since the emergence of computers, it has been recognized that they might play a role in brain rehabilitation efforts. However, the complexity of cognitive skills combined with the challenges of translating into software the skilled, therapeutic activities relating to rehabilitation of brain injury have prevented real breakthroughs in the area of relearning and retraining of cognitive abilities. The real potential of advanced technology has so far not been unleashed in current implementations of training resulting in lack of long-term efficacy and generalization of training. This paper will attempt to provide an overview of some the challenges facing anyone entering the exiting field of training for cognitive recovery and propose a way forward for future cognitive rehabilitation using advanced computer technology.
