A spatial arrangement memory testing unit.
The Spatial Arrangement Memory Testing Unit is a new apparatus which has been designed to provide a low-cost, portable instrument for assessing visuo-spatial memory performance. It is particularly useful for aiding diagnosis and planning rehabilitation programmes for patients that have suffered brain damage. The application of microprocessor technology has allowed a flexible programmable approach to the operation of the equipment. The system uses a dedicated Zilog Z80 microprocessor with associated software held in EPROM. An integral printer is used to provide a permanent record of patient performance.
