Abstract

Using computer-assisted cognitive training to treat patients with cognitive disorders has proved a useful tool in neurological rehabilitation. This has been shown by positive experience in many rehabilitation clinics but also in numerous control studies investigating the efficiency of such training. Patients with attention deficits show the most pronounced improvements as the computer with its technical possibilities is an ideal training instrument because of stimulus representation and reaction time measures. In other areas, computer training has become an essential therapeutic means complementing other therapies. In a clinical environment it seems that computer training is essential because it enables attaining the necessary therapeutic density. However, training must be integrated and become part of a global therapeutic framework.
