It is often recommended that individuals with memory and organizational problems after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) use some type of memory device such as a paper calendar. Recently the use of electronic devices has been suggested. This article outlines data obtained from in vivo trials using personal data assistants (PDAs) and follow up in depth studies with PDAs and smartphones. These trials were conducted with individuals who had memory and organizational problems as a result of cognitive disorders of traumatic brain injury (TBI) or intellectual disability (ID) Results indicate that the use of electronic devices can enhance independent behavior. Factors influencing success include: student motivation, audible beep of the device; support for programming and troubleshooting, alterations of functions; and selection of features to motivate. Based on the result of the studies, an intervention plan for use of PDAs was developed for use by clinicians.
人们经常建议，创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后出现记忆和组织问题的个体使用某种类型的记忆工具，如纸质日历。最近有人提出使用电子设备。本文概述了使用个人数字助理（PDA）进行的体内试验以及对PDA和智能手机的深入跟踪研究中获得的数据。这些试验是针对因创伤性脑损伤（TBI）或智力残疾（ID）导致认知障碍而出现记忆和组织问题的个体进行的。结果表明，使用电子设备可以增强独立行为。影响成功的因素包括：学生的积极性、设备的可听哔哔声；对编程和故障排除的支持、功能的改变；以及激励功能的选择。基于这些研究结果，为临床医生制定了一份使用PDA的干预计划。
