Abstract
The number of stroke patients have been increased with social aging in recent years. A rehabilitation is necessary for many stroke patients because of aftereffect in brain function. A rehabilitation to speech disorder in higher brain dysfunction is one of important problems, and the Miyake's paired verbal associate learning test is known as one of the examination method. In the examination method, after an examiner reads out related word pairs and non-related word pairs, the examiner either bring one of the word pair, and an examinee answer the other of word pair. This examination is an approach to check the cognitive faculty by giving the auditory stimulation to the examiner. The Miyake's paired verbal associate learning test is a subjective approach that has some different inspection procedures by each examiner. In this paper, we propose the method with Android PC application in order to reduce the difference of procedure by each examiner in Miyake's learning test, and to perform personal test. And we think about the difference of the brain stimulation between the traditional method and our proposed method from the results of brain function measurement in fNIRS. The results show that the proposed method with PC application is efficient as new Miyake's learning test, since the brain blood flow of both method is a little different each other.
