Comparison of Artificial and Computer-assisted Cognitive Training on Visuospatial Impairment

Objective To explore the effect of artificial and computer-assisted cognitive training on visuospatial impairment.Methods 63 patients with visuospatial impairment were randomly assigned to artificial group(n=21),computer-assisted training group(n=21) and integration group(n=21).The artificial group received conventional cognitive training while the computer-assisted training group used computer to assist cognitive training,and the integration group combined computer with conventional cognitive training.All groups were assessed with Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment(LOTCA).Results All groups improved significantly after training(P0.001).There were no significant difference between 3 groups in visual perception,spatial perception,and motor praxis after training.Compared to the computer-assisted training group,the integration group and the artificial group improved more significantly in visuomotor organization after training.Conclusion Artificial cognitive training and computer-assisted training can effectively improve the cognitive function of patients with visuospatial impairment.
