Cognitive ability is the core of human intellectual ability and consists mainly of reasoning, memory, judgment, perception, and attention. Cognitive ability refers to human beings understanding what they experience and interacting effectively with the environment.

Cognitive impairment is the most commonly accompanied disorder in stroke and traumatic brain injury patients. Since cognitive impairment causes abnormalities in memory, perception, problem solving ability, and so on, it is the most important obstacle to returning to society and occupation.

The reasons for the increased need for cognitive rehabilitation today are: First, neuroscience studies have occurred much more than previously thought of brain plasticity (reorganization of the brain after brain injury), which impairs the functions that have been impaired after brain injury. It suggests that the probability of recovery is much higher than expected. Second, the development of new technologies makes the use of information-based tools much more likely for people with cognitive impairments. This makes contact with the outside of those who have limited scope of activity much easier than ever before and makes it possible for patients to live independently. Third, the number of people with cognitive impairment due to various causes is increasing day by day, which leads to enormous medical expenses, which is more focused on improving short-term and measurable functions.

The cognitive rehabilitation system conventionally used by psychiatrists and psychotherapists requires the intervention of rehabilitation coordinators in addition to patients, which makes it difficult to self-medicate, difficult to provide immediate feedback on the patient's performance, and difficulty in interpreting the results. There is a problem that each country is not characterized by a unique language system and culture.

Cognitive rehabilitation means improving or compensating degraded cognitive function. Cognitive rehabilitation aims at the rehabilitation of individuals with cognitive impairment and improves their social, academic and occupational skills by improving the cognitive function of people with brain, mental and developmental disabilities. To help the return.

The relationship between attention, spatiotemporal organization, memory, and problem solving ability (execution function) included in the cognitive rehabilitation program according to the present invention is as follows.

Each cognitive function functions independently and simultaneously interacts with each other. Therefore, it is more effective to train related cognitive functions step by step or simultaneously than single cognitive rehabilitation. The basis for this is as follows.

First, attention, spatiotemporal organization, memory, and problem solving ability have common neural circuits, and cognitive function is composed of several sub-functions, and the sub-elements of each cognitive function overlap each other. For example, the environment is composed of sub-elements such as working memory, selectiveism, and diversification of attention. Among these factors, attention is also a sub-element of problem solving ability. Second, in terms of function, it is difficult to independently evaluate attention, space-time organization, memory, and problem solving ability. For most activities in real life, all these cognitive functions interact with each other. All of these impairments of cognitive function have a huge impact on an individual's daily living functions.

Each play is composed of a plurality of game modules, the details are as follows.

Attention training play is a game that distinguishes visual or auditory information. It is a training game that presents separate training play for visualism and auditoryism, visualism and auditoryism at the same time, and recognizes and discriminates the characteristics of attention stimulation. It may include.

The cognitive rehabilitation program according to the present invention begins with attention training. The game focuses on improving the attention of cognitive impaired patients. Attention training consists of two main curricula. The basic training course and the intermediate training course are included, and a plurality of detailed tasks are included in each of the above training courses according to the difficulty of the task content.

A plurality of subtasks can be progressed up to 2 levels depending on the difficulty level. The program is based on full learning. The training process is divided according to the type of task, and the training level is divided according to the difficulty of the task. Examples of the details and composition of the detailed tasks included in each training method are shown in Table 1 below.

Module number Contents 0 Subject registration, search, result data output and management One Simple Visual Response: Find the Rabbit 2 Simple Choice Visual Response: Find the White Rabbit 3 Simple Hearing Response: Finding Sound 4 Simple Selection Auditory Response: Finding Sounds 5 Visual discrimination reaction: distinguish between monkey and sheep 6 Auditory Response Visual Pre-Stimulation: Finding the Crying Lion 7 Visual Response Multiple Stimulation: Find Two Pandas 8 Synthetic attention: how many? 9 Visual Scanning I: Where Am I? 10 Visual Scanning II: Find Your Partnership

The basic training course focuses on separate training for visualism and auditoryism. The objective is to expose the patient to each of the simple forms of visualism and auditoryism, and to highlight each stimulus characteristic through repetitive training.

In the intermediate training course, visualism and auditoryism were presented separately. Training in which the patient recognizes and discerns features of attentional stimulation is central. The process of controlling and maintaining attention to the requirements of the task allows the patient to acquire the ability to control attention.

In addition, there may be advanced training course and Attention course.

Advanced training courses provide the foundation for higher-level attention for patients who have recovered to normal levels of attention. The composition of complex tasks helps patients improve their application and utilization ability to solve the tasks through their own know-how. It also connects attention stimulation with real life and explores the effects of active attention training.

The Attention process is designed to integrate visual and auditory attention skills, as well as some basic executive functions. The task consists of tracking, targeting, in addition to focusing, switching, maintaining, and distinguishing attention. Enforcement skills require simple discrimination, intervention, containment and discriminatory reactions.

Beginning with Module 7, continuity and expansion require larger, longer, simultaneous attention and concentration. In terms of enforcement, this task requires more information processing and requires significant coordination of visual motors.

Module number Contents Problem Solving Skills 1 31 Number manipulations 1: It is required to respond to the sum of previously specified numbers and recently presented numbers. This task requires not only to memorize the previously presented numbers but also the ability to operate on the sum of the other numbers. This module therefore trains the working memory required for problem solving skills. 32 Number manipulations 2: Numbers listed in any order. Clicking on any number changes the order of the numbers on the left side of the number, but does not affect the order of the numbers on the right side. This task requires subjects to quickly identify these principles and list the numbers presented in accordance with these principles in order. Therefore, students understand the principles required for problem-solving skills and train them to adhere to them. 33 Number manipulations 3: It is required to calculate the sum of numbers presented for a short time. To train the various functions required for problem solving: mental manipulation, working memory, etc. 34 Maze Puzzle 1: It is required to reach the specified target point with minimum error and as soon as possible, so this module trains the ability to plan actions to achieve the target action. 35 Maze puzzle 2: Trains the same function as Maze puzzle 1 but with the ability to plan more complex actions. 36 Checker exchange: It is required to change the positions of the green / blue checkers at the top and bottom of the checker board for a minimum number of trials. This module trains the action plan capability. Problem Solving Skills 2 37 Pyramids: This task requires moving three to five disks to different axes according to the rules, and the implementation of these tasks requires planning for problem solving, rule compliance, and so on. 38 Simply logic: This module trains the ability to verify the correctness and falsehood of a response, ie, hypothesis validation, based on the feedback provided. 39 Odd one out: Of the four stimuli, three share common traits while one stimulus does not have these traits. The subject is required to respond by selecting one stimulus that does not have common characteristics. This task requires the ability to identify characteristics and categorize them. 40 Deduce It: This task requires choosing and responding to three numbers based on a given clue. The ability to utilize clues and verify performance results based on clues is required.
