ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify some influences on improving attention abilities of disabledchildren through a computer-based attention program with eye movement (saccade, pursuit, and visual fixation). Method: For this purpose, four children with attention problems participated in a clinical experiment. All participantswere evaluated based on a Comprehensive Attention Test (CAT) and Star cancellation test before and after theplanned intervention sessions. The intervention tool was a computer–based cognitive rehabilitation program usingan input system with eye movement. Interventions were intensively carried out for eight weeks, half an hour persession, three times a week. Results: The results were as follows. Selective attention, flanker task, and sustained attention were improvedcompared to before the intervention. The attention quotients showed positive changes in attention areas afterintervention. The various attention quotients after intervention were higher than before. Furthermore, there wereimprovements in the attention quotients for the divided attention and working memory areas. All participantsincreased their response speed AQ in all attention areas. Conclusions: These results indicate that attention training using an eye movement program has an effect onimproving the selective attention, sustained attention, and flanker task. In particular, positive influences wereshown on divided attention, working memory, and response speed for children with poor attention.
