Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in which patients have difficulties related to inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Those patients are in need of a psychological therapy use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to enhance the way they think and behave. This type of therapy is mostly common in treating patients with anxiety and depression but also is useful in treating autism, obsessive compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. A major limitation of traditional CBT is that therapists may face difficulty in optimizing patients' neuropsychological stimulus following a specified treatment plan. Other limitations include availability, accessibility and level-of-experience of the therapists. Hence, this paper aims to design and simulate a generic cognitive model that can be used as an appropriate alternative treatment to traditional CBT, we term as "AR-Therapist." This model takes advantage of the current developments of augmented reality to engage patients in both real and virtual game-based environments.
注意力缺陷多动障碍是最常见的神经发育障碍之一，患者在注意力不集中、多动和冲动方面存在困难。这些患者需要一种心理治疗方法，即使用认知行为疗法（CBT）来改善他们的思维和行为方式。这种治疗方法在治疗焦虑和抑郁患者中最为常见，但也有助于治疗自闭症、强迫症和创伤后应激障碍。传统CBT的一个主要局限性是，治疗师可能难以按照特定的治疗计划优化患者的神经心理刺激。其他局限性包括治疗师的可用性、可及性和经验水平。因此，本文旨在设计和模拟一种通用的认知模型，该模型可以作为传统CBT的一种合适替代治疗方法，我们称之为“增强现实治疗师（AR-Therapist）”。该模型利用增强现实的当前发展，让患者参与真实和虚拟的游戏环境。
