  • Title: Efficacy study of THINKable in the attention and memory retraining of traumatically head-injured patients.
    Author: Ruff R, Mahaffey R, Engel J, Farrow C, Cox D, Karzmark P.
    Journal: Brain Inj; 1994 Jan; 8(1):3-14. PubMed ID: 8124315.
    Abstract:
    The efficacy of computer-assisted attention and memory retraining was evaluated with 15 severely head-injured patients. Training with selected exercises tailored to the individual's needs were provided from the THINKable program for up to 20 hours in both the attention and memory remediation modules. The experimental design evaluated outcome by juxtaposing multiple baseline procedures with a pre- and post-group comparison. Significant results were documented on the computerized tasks, psychometric measures and on patient and observer ratings of everyday behaviours of attention and memory.
