    Author: Middleton DK, Lambert MJ, Seggar LB.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1991 Apr; 72(2):527-30. PubMed ID: 1852561.
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to investigate the contribution of cognitive rehabilitation therapy delivered by computer within an educationally based treatment program for brain-injured adults. The effectiveness of two forms of computer-assisted neuropsychological treatment was examined, 36 head-injured adults received the treatment targeting either attention and memory skills or reasoning and logical thinking skills. Both groups were assessed on three measures of attention and memory and three measures of reasoning before and after the 8-wk. treatment. Analysis indicated significant improvement on five of six measures by both groups. No differential effect was observed by treatment condition. These findings did not support the hypothesis that computer-assisted neuropsychological rehabilitation programs which differ in both content and focus can produce specific effects on cognitive functioning of brain-injured adults.
