CONGNITIVE TRAINING UTILIZING INTERACTION SIMULATIONS TARGETING STIMULATION OF KEY COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS

A cognitive training and evaluation system capable of simulating a scenario to be executed by a trainee. The system includes a simulation server and one or more interface devices. The simulation server can include a data storage engine, a scenario generation engine, a scenario execution engine, and a feedback and analysis engine. The data storage engine can store a library of scenario scripts, which can be used by the scenario generation engine with one or more scenario generation parameters to produce a scenario for execution by the scenario execution engine. The scenario execution engine can be configured to execute the scenario by iteratively communicating a status to the interface device, and receiving a response from the interface device. Each interface device can render a simulation based on the one and communicate the response to the simulation server. Trainee and opponent statistics can be used during scenario generation and execution. 1. A cognitive training and evaluation system capable of simulating a scenario to be executed by a trainee , comprising:a simulation server computing platform including computing hardware of at least one processor, data storage, an operating system implemented on the computing hardware, a display interface, and input/output facilities;an interface device computing platform in communication with the simulation server computing platform including computing hardware of at least one processor, data storage, an operating system implemented on the computing hardware, a display interface, and input/output facilities; a data storage engine configured to store: a library of one or more scenario scripts, each of the one or more scenario scripts comprising one or more initial actions, reactions, and expected trainee responses;', 'a scenario generation engine configured to generate a scenario based on one of the one or more scenario scripts and one or more scenario generation parameters;', 'a scenario execution engine configured to ...
