Abstract

|
|
Objective : This study was designed to figure out relationships between cognition and visual perception ability of the elderly.
Method : This study was done to 72 subjects whose age are over 60, living in a city. They had not experienced any brain damages and carried out daily routines by themselves in a healthy way. Using MMSE-KC for a diagnosis of cognition ability and MVPT-3 for a diagnosis of a visual perception ability.
Result : There was a significant correlation between cognition and a visual perception ability of the elderly. The result of diagnosis on a cognition ability was relatively higher on the males and the younger, but it didn’t show any direct correlations in statistics. The result of diagnosis on a visual perception ability was relatively higher on the males, the younger, and the higher educated group of people. It had a significant correlation in statistics.
Conclusion : There were direct correlations between a cognition ability and a visual perception ability of the elderly over 60. However this study had a few limits. Frist, the subjects belong to only one place. Second, the subjects were not sufficient. Therefore, for the further study, subjects are supposed to be from different places and the number of subjects should be abundant. Also, a study on relationship between cognition and visual perception for the handicapped should be carried out continuously. At the same time, the range of the age should be considered wider and the number of subjects also should be more. At the last, we will experiment comparing between patients group and non-patients group at the further study.
