INTRO TO CAUSE & EFFECT is a new Windows version of our older classic program "Cause & Effect". Both sound and graphics were updated to take advantage of the latest technology. The program is designed to introduce the user to the computer and the switch. It is also designed to improve tracking ability of objects and increase the user's attention span.
Each time the user presses the switch or keyboard, large brightly colored geometric segments animate on the screen along with captivating sounds. Animation segments last for approximately 3 - 5 seconds. When the user presses the switch again, a new segment will appear. There are 35 segments in this program. If the user doesn't press the switch, an image of the switch appears on the screen to suggest to the user that the switch should be pressed.
