This paper provides an update and overview of the field of memory disorders and memory rehabilitation of adults. Progresses in brain plasticity knowledge and neuroimaging observations about compensation after structural losses have influenced non-pharmacological interventions, which represent a growing area with strong theories and explanatory

This Special Issue of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation on errorless learning in rehabilitation of language and memory impairments includes one review and six empirical studies, which present new clinical findings evaluating the effectiveness of errorless learning as an intervention method for people whose symptoms stem from different neurological aetiologies. These studies delineate some of th...

Abstract Objective: Brainstem, pontine, and cerebellar (infratentorial) stroke has been associated with motor cranial nerve dysfunction. However, case reports clinical observations suggest that cognitive impairment may be present. Acute inpatient rehabilitation is a critical time to implement interventions; however, intervention opportunities missed if providers are unaware of dysfunction do no...

People with epilepsy often complain about their memory. Memory deficits are also most commonly observed during neuropsychological evaluation. Many patients with memory problems ask for some kind of memory training. General memory improvement is not possible, but learning mnemonics clearly will help to solve some of the most common everyday memory problems of patients. Most mnemonics follow the ...

OBJECTIVE The authors evaluated the efficacy of a new cognitive rehabilitation program on memory and functional performance of mildly impaired Alzheimer disease (AD) patients receiving a cholinesterase inhibitor. METHODS Twenty-five participants in the Cognitive Rehabilitation (CR) condition participated in two 45-minute sessions twice per week for 24 total sessions. CR training included face...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A debated subject in stroke rehabilitation relates to the best type of training approach for motor recovery. First, we analyzed the effects of repetitive movement practice in 2 feedback conditions (knowledge of results [KR]; knowledge of performance, [KP]) on reacquisition of reaching. Second, we evaluated the impact of cognitive impairment on motor relearning ability. ...

The term prospective memory (PM) refers to memory for future intentions. PM problems are frequent in people with cognitive impairment and, because they are central to the realisation of many everyday goals, are important in rehabilitation. Event-based PM tasks (EBPM) are environmentally-cued and have primarily mnemonic demands, whereas time-based PM tasks (TBPM) require self-initiated retrieval...

OBJECTIVE This exploratory study investigates Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) rehabilitation outcomes among culturally diverse outpatients in community-based rehabilitation who have sustained a Mild to Moderate TBI. The major aims of this study are twofold: firstly, to determine whether community-based rehabilitation outcomes following TBI differ across Măori, Pacific and Pakeha cultures; and seco...
