目的。目的研究获得性脑损伤后记忆障碍者学习和使用日常生活电子辅助工具(EADL)的能力，并描述其功能和生活质量的变化。在为期2年的干预期间，8名参与者在两套配备了一套基本和高级EADL的公寓中居住了4个月或6个月。教与学的方法受到一定的无错误学习原则的影响。通过结构化观察来衡量学习使用EADL的能力。采用自评问卷对患者的功能和生活质量进行评估。结果表明，参与者学会了在日常活动中使用EADL。他们意识到EADL非常有用，而且很容易学习。职业绩效、职业绩效满意度和生活质量均有不同程度提高。结果表明，EADL可能在促进日常活动、提高记忆障碍者的职业表现满意度和生活质量方面发挥重要作用。这项研究指出了调整技术以适应用户需求的重要性，并呼吁更多地考虑人-技术交互因素。
Purpose. The purpose was to study the ability of persons with memory impairments after acquired brain injury to learn how to and use electronic aids to daily living (EADL) and to describe changes in function and quality of life.Method. Eight participants stayed in two apartments equipped with a set of basic and advanced EADL for either 4 or 6 months during an intervention time of 2 years. The teaching and learning method was influenced by certain principles of errorless learning. Ability to learn to use EADL was measured by structured observations. Function and quality of life were assessed with self-rating questionnaires.Results. Results indicate that the participants learned to use EADL in their everyday activities. They perceived that EADL were very useful and easy to learn. Occupational performance and satisfaction with occupational performance and quality of life was improved.Conclusion. The results indicate that EADL may play an important role in facilitating everyday activities and improve satisfaction with occupational performance and quality of life for people with memory impairments. The study indicates the importance of adjusting technology to the user's needs and calls for more consideration for human - technology interaction factors.
