Assistive Technology for Cognition

'Assistive Technology for Cognition features contributions by leading international researchers and practitioners in the area of cognitive intervention and rehabilitation. The book offers applications of today's technologies to the enhanced cognitive functioning of individuals with a wide spectrum of brain impairments. Importantly, in the dynamic cultures and technological environments in which we live, it is as much a book of the future as it is of today.' - Marcia J. Scherer, Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Rochester Medical Center, USA

'The International Classification of Function provides an effective organizing scheme for understanding diverse technologies. The authors provide a neuropsychological background on cognitive functions along with a review of technologies and supporting research, resulting in a book which will be a valuable asset for clinicians, researchers, and technology developers.' - Edmund LoPresti, AT Sciences, USA

'The book will be most useful to readers wanting an introduction to a broad base of technological applications for ATC. The book provides ideas for clinicans searching for applications relevant to person with cognitive impairment. The functions are clear enough to also attract an audience of technology developers with perhaps limited knowledge of the human functions involved... The book might be inspiration to current or nascent researchers in the ATC field." - Michael Gilewski, Loma Linda University Medical Center, USA, PsycCRITIQUES
