Title
Augmented Cognition as Rehabilitation: Facilitating Neuroplasticity?
Abstract
Different types of brain injury are associated with deficits in working memory, executive functioning, and information processing speed, which can impact performance at work. Augmented Cognition (AugCog), a technology developed to improve human performance in complex tasks, may have potential for optimizing cognitive functioning in the context of work for those with mild to moderate cognitive deficits. AugCog is a way to accommodate or augment function thus improving the performance of the operator. This approach may facilitate neuroplasticity that can occur following injury to the brain. The authors will provide the rationale, operational structure, and potential application to occupational rehabilitation.
