Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is an insult to the brain capable of producing physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and vocational changes. Statistics show a rapid increase in the number of brain injuries each decade in both developed and developing countries. Disorders of memory and attention are among those regarded as most prominent following non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Attention Process Training (APT) in remediating attention deficits and memory dysfunctions following mild TBI.
