Methods According to the training models, 47 patients with attention deficits were randomly assigned to 3 groups computer-assisted training group(n=16), face-to-face training group(n=21) and control group(n=10). The training groups were given attention training once a day which sustained 30 minutes for 6 weeks. All patients were tested with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment Battery (LOTCA) before and 6 weeks after the rehabilitation. Results The performance of both the computer-assisted training group and the face-to-face training group significantly improved (P<0.05). The various of the scores was the most in the computer-assisted training group among them (P<0.05). Conclusion The computer-assisted training is a high-effective method for attention deficits.
