Memory & Attention Software Tool Kit

This special set gives clinicians the trifecta of cognitive software programs!

DASAT (Divided and Sustained Attention Task) provides therapeutic computer based activities with tasks that demand the individual divides attention between two different types of information: 1) number, which is verbal in nature, and 2) color, which is visual in nature.

The Acquired Brain Injury Memory Exercises Center (ABIME)has six key components with exercises across a range of visual, verbal and spatial memory functions. They are 1) memory for numbers; 2) working visual memory; 3) short term visual memory; 4) visuospatial memory; 5) immediate verbal recall; and 6) delayed visual/verbal memory.

Responses are computer tracked and scored for clinical use in assessment, treatment planning, cognitive rehabilitation and research.

Concentration-Attention-and-Mental-Speed-Rehabilitation-Task (CAMSART) software generates random sets of exercises that require matching a target item by number and/or color. By giving the patient structured tasks, the therapist can measure performance for time and accuracy which are documented in a performance history. Tasks can be set for varying length of time and difficulty, giving the clinician flexibility for customizing a program that is challenging but not too easy. The user has to hold the instructions for each activity in short term memory.

Completing the tasks requires the patient to use selective, divided and sustained attention as well as decision making and information processing.
