The onset of cognitive rehabilitation brought with it a hope for an effective treatment for the traumatic brain injured subject. This paper reviews the empirical reports of changes in cognitive functioning after treatment and compares the relative effectiveness of several treatments including computer interventions, cognitive strategies, EEG biofeedback, and medications. The cognitive functions that are reviewed include auditory memory, attention and problem solving. The significance of the change in cognitive function is assessed in two ways that include effect size and longevity of effect. These analyses complement the previously published meta-reviews by adding these two criteria and include reports of EEG biofeedback, which is shown to be an effective intervention for auditory memory.
认知康复的出现为创伤性脑损伤患者带来了有效治疗的希望。本文回顾了治疗后认知功能变化的实证报告,并比较了几种治疗方法的相对有效性,包括计算机干预、认知策略、脑电图生物反馈和药物治疗。所回顾的认知功能包括听觉记忆、注意力和问题解决能力。认知功能变化的意义通过两种方式进行评估,包括效应大小和效应持续时间。这些分析通过增加这两个标准补充了先前发表的元综述,并纳入了脑电图生物反馈的报告,结果表明其对听觉记忆是一种有效的干预措施。
