System for training spatial cognition, memory and spatiomotor coordination through drawing

A method for improving a subject's spatial cognition and spatial memory, including:

• presenting spatial image information to the subject through a non-visual medium;
• non-visual exploration and memorization of the spatial image to enhance the subject's understanding of the nature and relationships of components of the spatial image information to promote augmentation of the subject's spatial image memory;
• the subject thereafter drawing ax image representation of the spatial image information;
• detecting and encoding errors it the image representation relative to the original spatial image;
• providing interactive feedback to the subject based on the subject's imam representation;
• wherein the step of image exploration and memorization includes geometric parcellation of the spatial image information to direct attention to geometric relationships of components of the spatial image information, and
• wherein said step of geometric parcellation includes directing the subject to analyze the spatial image information by at least one of the following tasks:
• identify line segments, identify inflection points, determine and describe spatial characteristics, both absolute and relative to adjacent line segments, segment-by-segment evaluation of line features, including segment orientation, length, angular relationships of segments, curvature of line segments and spatial configurational relationships among segments.
