| dc.description.abstract | Discovering new neurocognitive rehabilitation techniques for children is particularly important, because very few modern and systematically controlled techniques exist. In the current study the FORAMENRehab Attention rehabilitation software is tested in healthy children aged 9-12 to find out how normally developing children perform on these tasks. The aim of the study is to test the established base levels of this modern computer-based rehabilitation program as the appropriate starting-points for the neurorehabilitation intervention of children. 18 children aged 9-12 participated in the study. We found that the base levels of the Paced search with dual targets task, the Word Recognition task, the Addition task and the Tracking task of the module should be modified, because these levels are too difficult for children to be used at the start of rehabilitation. We also found that the differences between the attentional abilities of boys and girls are not significant when measured with the established base levels, thus different levels do not need to be developed for these groups. Overall, the program is suitable for the rehabilitation of children aged 9-12. | en |
