To reduce impact these changes will on patient’s life, it is important to develop diversified tasks with which individuals can train and improve their impaired abilities strengthen those are preserved.

These performed either virtually or real ATM. Beyond revealing type environment did not influence performance, results showed relationship between screening measures time complete task, in lowest had worse performance task. Also, was more sensitive discriminating clinical group than
