Verbal Working Memory and Attention Remediation for Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury.
This project will examine if computerized cognitive remediation will improve working memory and attention in 25 adults with a mild, moderate, or severe brain injury and compare their cognitive performance to the control group of 25 adults with a mild, moderate, or severe brain injury. The control group will train on computerized tasks of social awareness. Participants in both groups will be assessed prior to training and immediately post-training and one month-post training.
• Medically documented mild, moderate, or severe TBI;
• All subjects will be older than 18 years of age;
• Free from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, due to the potential influence of such disorders on cognitive functioning;
• Free of current alcohol or drug abuse;
• At least 3 months post-injury.
