Mental Disabled People learn Working Skills with Computer Assisted Teaching

Abstract

Psychology can contribute to computer sciences with a great deal of knowledge and information about learning processes. The software prototype introduced in the article is an example of this. Itis a multimedia computer programme that teaches basic learning skills (space orientation, sequencing, classifying, comparing, measuring and conservation) and includes a series of demonstrations of activities carried out to be carried out in different workshops in a sheltered setting for mentally disabled persons. With this software, workers can be trained for tasks in printing, carpentry, animal farm or cleaning workshops.
