Verbal Working Memory and Attention Remediation for Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury.

Description

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.
