Abstract

Seven stroke patients showing left spatial neglect received recreational computing during baseline and computerised rehabilitation tasks with moving targets during treatment, according to a multiple-baseline-across subjects design. Results indicated no specific effects of treatment on static paper and pencil or computerised tests. However, some trends suggested specificity of treatment on computerised tests. Besides the question of the efficacy of computerised training of neglect, some methodological issues are considered. It is suggested that the statistical procedure used allows the researcher to capture the nature of changes in performance on the computerised tests.
