1. Starts with a question
2. Gives a hint
When the user answers incorrectly, the program give a hint. In
the screen picture, below, the hint is in blue. In the example
below, the user has incorrectly answered Father. The hint explains
why Father is the wrong answer.
3.
Another hint
If
the user misses the question again, s/he gets an additional hint.
You can choose to have 2, 3, or 4 choices displayed to control the question difficulty.
This program was developed based on a program originally developed by Dr. Richard Katz, who has designed numerous programs for aphasia, and published many studies on the effectiveness of computer-assisted aphasia software.
Pro version Features
These features are available in the Professional version of the program.
Save time with automatic progress-tracking. Results of each session are saved, by client, to a file. You can print this or copy it into other documentation.
Automatically remembers settings for each patient So, when Mr. Jones comes back in for his next visit, you just select Mr. Jones and the program remembers how he did last time, what lesson he was using, and what settings you used for him.
Repetition Practice Repeat the first 20 questions 5 times, or repeat as many questions as you like as many times as you like. You can also control the length of the lesson without repetition, such as having a 25 exercise lesson. (Bungalow programs have so many exercises we've found that even one lesson can be too much for a patient to do in one sitting.
Improve Memory You can set the program to display the cue to display temporarily or until they press any key. Then the cue disappears, and the question appears.
