Summary

Blast-related and blunt traumatic brain injury is a key priority area of Rehabilitation Research \& Development (RR\&D) and represents a critically important public health problem facing the Veteran population. Developing efficacious treatments for persistent memory deficits seen in this population is a key step in reducing the impact that such problems have in the everyday lives of Veterans. Memory problems after TBI in Veterans are quite heterogeneous, and efficacy will likely be maximized by developing and disseminating multiple alternative treatments individually matched to the Veteran's key deficits, and by research that seeks to understand the cognitive and neural basis of treatment-related change over time. The results of this approach may aid clinical decision making and assignment of patients to rehabilitative treatments most likely to improve memory capacity and functional outcome.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Memory Strategy Training

This intervention involves intervention that teaches participants to use active encoding strategies to learn and remember new information. The intervention will be implemented using verbal and face-name paired associate learning.

BEHAVIORAL

Errorless Learning

This intervention enhances consolidation of correct target information by preventing false recall of incorrect information during the acquisition phase. Participants are encouraged to recall target information only if they are sure it is correct, thus eliminating errors. The intervention will be implemented using verbal and face-name paired associate learning.

BEHAVIORAL

Retrieval Practice

This intervention enhances retrieval of correct target information by actively practicing retrieval in the presence of a cue. The intervention will be implemented using verbal and face-name paired associate learning.
