Occupational therapists are constantly searching for engaging, high-technology interactive tasks that provide immediate feedback to evaluate and train clients with visual scanning deficits. This study examined the relationship between two tools: the VISION COACH™ interactive light board and the Functional Object Detection (FOD) Advanced driving simulator scenario. Fifty-four healthy drivers, ages 21-66 yr, were divided into three age groups. Participants performed braking response and visual target (E) detection tasks of the FOD Advanced driving scenario, followed by two sets of three trials using the VISION COACH Full Field 60 task. Results showed no significant effect of age on FOD Advanced performance but a significant effect of age on VISION COACH performance. Correlations showed that participants' performance on both braking and E detection tasks were significantly positively correlated with performance on the VISION COACH (.37 < r < .40, p < .01). These tools provide new options for therapists.
职业治疗师一直在寻找引人入胜的高科技互动任务,这些任务能提供即时反馈,以评估和训练有视觉扫描缺陷的客户。本研究考察了两种工具之间的关系:VISION COACH™互动灯板和功能性目标检测(FOD)高级驾驶模拟器场景。54名年龄在21至66岁之间的健康驾驶员被分为三个年龄组。参与者完成了FOD高级驾驶场景的制动反应和视觉目标(E)检测任务,随后使用VISION COACH全场60任务进行了两组,每组三次试验。结果显示,年龄对FOD高级性能没有显著影响,但对VISION COACH性能有显著影响。相关性分析表明,参与者在制动和E检测任务上的表现与在VISION COACH上的表现显著正相关(.37 < r <.40,p <.01)。这些工具为治疗师提供了新的选择。
