Abstract
ARROYO-ANLLO, Eva M; DIAZ-MARTA, Juan Poveda and CHAMORRO SANCHEZ, Jorge. Técnicas de rehabilitación neuropsicológica en demencias: hacia la ciber-rehabilitación neuropsicológica. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.1, pp.107-127. ISSN 1657-8961.
Neuropsychological rehabilitation techniques are aimed at palliating the cognitive deterioration of patients suffering from non-severe dementia, without the use of psychotropics. Currently, most such cognitive intervention programs in dementia are being improved through the use of advances in the field of information and communication technology (ICTs). The aim of this paper is to offer a review of the most recent advances in this area. We shall describe Neuropsychological Rehabilitation techniques ranging from the most classical (Reality Orientation Therapy and Reminiscence Therapy), to more updated techniques such as those for facilitating re-encoding, techniques for conditioning the environment and techniques for learning new information (Spaced Retrieval, Vanishing Cues, Errorless learning and procedural techniques). This review ends with cyber-neuropsychological techniques, which apply the latest introductions to ICTs, such as virtual reality.
