Abstract
Dette projekt undersøger, hvordan en rehabiliteringsøvelse for personer med hjerneskade kan redesignes, så præstation kan følges grundigt, og informationen kan bruges til at håndtere forstyrrelser i de nære omgivelser. Med afsæt i teori om visuel søgning (hvordan vi leder med øjnene) og endogen opmærksomhed (vores selvstyrede fokus) udviklede og testede vi tre støttefunktioner, der skulle gøre øvelsen lettere, når der er forstyrrelser. I tests med raske deltagere reducerede én funktion markant den tid, det tog at gennemføre opgaven. Testene blev udført på raske og bør gentages med personer ramt af hjerneskade for at bekræfte effekten i målgruppen.
This project examines how a rehabilitation exercise for people with brain injury can be redesigned so that performance is thoroughly tracked and the information is used to handle distractions in the immediate environment. Drawing on theories of visual search (how we scan with our eyes) and endogenous attention (our voluntary, self-directed focus), we designed and tested three support features intended to make the exercise easier when distractions are present. In tests with healthy participants, one feature significantly reduced the time required to complete the task. Because the tests were conducted with healthy individuals, the study should be repeated with people affected by brain injury to confirm the effect in the target group.
