Speed of Processing Training to Improve Cognition in Traumatic Brain Injury and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Clinical Trial
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effectiveness of a technique
designed to improve processing speed (i.e. the amount of time it takes to process
information) in a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) population. The study is designed to study
how well this technique can help people with TBI increase their processing speed and their
ability to function better in everyday life.
