METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT IN A COMPUTER TRAINING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A computer training system for improving the working memory capacity of a user of a computer (110) within said system, the system comprising:
- a computer (110) connectable to;
input means (102, 104) adapted for input of data by the user, and visual (106) and/or audio (108) presentation means adapted for presenting tasks for that user;
means for receiving an answer of a presented task from the user by means of said input means;
means for evaluating whether the answer is correct or incorrect;
means for presenting a first task of a first difficulty level, on said presentation means; and
;
means for changing the difficulty level of a subsequent task to be presented to the user, in accordance with predetermined adaptation rules and based on said evaluation, such that the difficulty level of the subsequent task is adapted to the capacity of the user, making the user motivated to proceed with the subsequent task; and
means for presenting subsequent tasks adapted to the capacity of the user as mentioned above, until a predetermined time limit is exceeded or until a predetermined number of tasks has been performed. characterised in that computer (110) comprises;
means for making a delay of a predetermined time, during which delay the stimuli that should be remembered is not visible or audible to the user and during which delay it is not possible to enter an answer into the computer (110) so that during this delay, the user keeps the task information about the stimuli in his working memory.
