Abstract(in English) Nowadays the population of senile dementia patients has rapidly increased. Our study aimed at a trial for the rehabilitation effect on senile dementia using visual cognitive tasks. 23 mild senile dementia patients were treated. The visual cognitive tasks were shown on the spectacle measure system, which contained smoothly task, blinking character task and different character searching task. One set of training took 20 minutes and two sets were done in one week, continuing for four weeks. After the training, the response time and the correct answer rate of the visual cognitive tasks were significantly increased. Moreover, the score of the cognition test HDS-R was improved after the training. These results suggest that mild senile dementia patients can be improved by the recognition rehabilitation using visual cognitive tasks.
