Abstract(in English) As a case study of PC operation assistance for people with higher brain dysfunction, we have carried out trainings of text entry using software keyboard for a person with the unilateral neglect and the attentional disorder. It had been revealed that the cause of the failure in the text entry training is due to forgetting to make input characters fixed and skipping the wrong characters during confirmation process. In the case of the "pointing out mistakes" process, the correct answer rate is improved for comparing two patterns arranged vertically by adding the vertical stripes into the background. In addition, it is found that the correct answer rate in side by side layout is more difficult than in up and down layout. Through the exercises of kana-kanji cfonversion at the end of segment, the correct input rate is improved by exercises of the the "picking up mistakes" process, in the two columns entry form, while there remains unfilled input form in lower region of the left column due to the unilateral neglect even after the participant confirmed input characters. However, excepting the unilateral neglect, exercises of the segment conversion is effective. In the case of the sentence correction training, the participant can correct appropriately for the text written on a sheet of paper, but can not do that for the text on the screen. This is due to failure in the "I" cursor movement, moving on to the next input field without enterd characters fixed, and skipping the wrong characters during confirmation process.
