Rehabilitation Program: Visual Attention
Click to try FREE for 30-Days.
This module contains exercises designed to train visual attention. In particular, patients need to pinpoint relevant information, visually scan details and keep mind focused on looking for differences.
Ancient Writing
The task
In this exercise, the patient must pay close attention to two sets of characters. His task is to distinguish on the second set the characters that are different from the first set of characters.
What it trains
This exercise primarily stimulates the user’s visual attention and his concentration skills. Indeed, he will have to pinpoint relevant information (differences), visually scan details and keep his mind focused on looking for differences. Whenever a person is presented with a new set of symbols, such as when learning to navigate traffic signs for the first time or when learning a language with a unique alphabet, he/she uses the skills from this activity.
Parameters
The parameters that can be selected are the number of sequenced series (3, 6, 9, 10, or 15), the number of characters (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10), the type of alphabet (Egyptian, Thai, Runes, Mayan, Japanese, or Indian), the type of presentation (2 lines, 2 staggered lines, lines and columns, or all 3 modes), and the response time (unlimited, 60, 30, 20, or 10 seconds).
Number of Unique Configurations
3,000 unique game configurations and significant data set depth.
Private Eye
The task
In this task, the patient needs a discriminating eye to must either locate a symbol in a grid full of intricate symbols and letters (intruder) that differs from other symbols (all of which are identical), and catch the sneaky suspect that was shown before starting the task and that does not belong.
What it trains
Primarily, this task exercises the user’s abilities for a specific type of attention called sustained attention and concentration. Attention is the essence of focus and the user will need to focus on looking for a specific target and ignore the symbols that could distract his attention. Any time a person pays attention to something, and any time he/she ignores something, data is created in his/her brain. That data has value, but only if it's gathered, measured, and analyzed. In addition, this exercise requires good visual scanning and shape recognition skills.
Parameters
The parameters that can be selected are the type of help (with help, with intruder, multi-symbols, or odd one out, or not), the size of the grid (2x2, 4x4, 4x6, 4x8, 6x8, 8x8, 8x10, 8x12, 8x14, or 8x16), the number of sequenced series (2, 4, 5, or 10), the types of character (letters and numbers or symbols), and the response time (unlimited, 120, 60, 30, 20, or 10 seconds).
