摘要
We have carried out the first study in Italy on the cognitive remediation by a new computerized system developed by IBM and called THINKable. Statistical analyses revealed that on some measures there was a significant improvement in the level of performance of the subjects at the time of the posttreatment assessment compared with the pretreatment assessment. Disorders of memory and higher cognitive functioning improved by structured retraining, independently of attention. Improvement has been matched by changes in the patients real-word functioning. Senile patients also took advantage from cognitive training. They were already followed before as outpatients and had no spontaneous recovery. The role of personal computers in neuropsychological training is discussed.
