简要总结
The goal of this RCT is to investigate if computerized script training may promote functional communication and nonverbal cognitive functions of Cantonese-speaking PWA, and whether VR may further magnify the treatment outcomes.
The main research questions are:
- Can script training promote verbal functional communication of Cantonese-speaking PWA?
- Can script training enhance nonverbal cognitive functions of Cantonese-speaking PWA?
- Can VR magnify verbal and nonverbal treatment outcomes of script training of PWA?
