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.
我们在意大利开展了第一项关于由IBM开发的名为THINKable的新型计算机系统进行认知康复治疗的研究。统计分析表明，在某些指标上，与治疗前评估相比，治疗后评估时受试者的表现水平有显著提高。通过结构化再训练，记忆障碍和高级认知功能得到改善，与注意力无关。患者在现实生活中的功能变化与改善相匹配。老年患者也从认知训练中获益。他们之前作为门诊患者接受随访，没有自发恢复。本文讨论了个人电脑在神经心理学训练中的作用。
