A method for improving subject's spatial cognition and spatial memory includes presenting spatial information to the person through non-visual means, parcellating the image to enhance understanding of the nature and relationships of the image components to augment image memory, drawing the image, detecting and encoding the errors in the drawing, and providing interactive feedback based on the individual's drawing performance. The methodology includes audio-haptic feedback to present the spatial image information non-visually using an audible signal that varies as a function of the distance of the finger/stylus from the regions of a display that express the image features.
