abstract

We describe a cognitive rehabilitation system developed at the University of Central Florida that allows therapists to explore cuing, contextualization, and theoretical aspects of cognitive retraining, including transfer of training. The Human Experience Modeler (HEM) mixed reality environment allows for a contextualized learning experience with the advantages of controlled stimuli and feedback that would not be feasible in a traditional rehabilitation setting. A pilot study for testing the integrated components of the HEM is also discussed where the participant within the study presents with working memory impairments due to a stroke.
