Hardback : £114.00
Assistive technology for cognition is technology which can be used to enable, enhance, or extend cognitive function. This book systematically examines how cutting-edge digital technologies can assist the cognitive function of people with cognitive impairments, with the potential to revolutionize rehabilitation. Technologies are reviewed which direct attention, remind, recognize, prompt, and generally guide people through activities of daily living.
Written by experts in neuropsychology and technology development, Assistive Technology for Cognition provides a comprehensive overview of the efficacy of technologies to assist people with brain impairments. Based on the list provided by the International Classification of Function, each chapter covers a different cognitive function; namely, attention, memory, affect, perception, executive function, language, numeracy, sequencing, and navigation onto which existing and future assistive technologies for cognition are mapped. This structure provides in-depth research in an accessible way, and will allow practitioners to move from an assessment of cognitive deficits to the prescription of an appropriate assistive technology for cognition. The chapters also make suggestions for future developments.
Assistive Technology for Cognition will be of great interest to clinicians and researchers working in brain injury rehabilitation, technology developers, and also to students in clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and allied health disciplines.

'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
