ABSTRACT
Injury to the central nervous system (CNS) brings in its wake a host of cognitive deficiencies concurrent with motor, personality and language impairments. Both the experimental and the control groups consisted of patients with injury in various cerebral areas. It should be noted that in all cases there was evidence of structural damage to the CNS, based on computerized tomography examinations. Training was based on a self-contained series of 11 lessons — with about 10 to 12 exercises per lesson — based on hypothesis forming and testing. The immediate way to judge the efficiency of the training procedure was to show that, after completing the lessons, the level of performance evaluation by the neurospsychological testing had improved as compared to the controls Many training exercises in daily clinical use in a traumatic brain injury rehabilitation framework have been developed over the past few years for the purpose of improving the cognitive functioning of the patients.
