ABSTRACT
Cognitive disorders derived from traumatic brain injury occur frequently and affect most of the daily activities of the patients suffering from them. A study by Levin and colleagues(1) noted that 36% of the patients with severe brain injury had memory impairment. A more recent study by León-Carrión et al.(2) found a prevalence of 70% anterograde amnesia and 40% retrograde amnesia in a population of traumatic brain injury patients. These memory disorders limit the independence of those who have them and affect their family life as well as their social life. Recovery of diverse organic cognitive disorders has been pursued by psychologists and neuropsychologists for a long time.
