Primary Objective:
brain injury can result in the loss of previous learnt behaviours that affect an individual's daily functioning. The use of self-regulation helps the individual to relearn the lost behaviours by bringing him/her to self-conscious level through independent and reflective learning derived using a social cognitive perspective. The purpose of this paper is to report on clinical observations made with the use of self-regulation in people with brain injury during the relearning of lost functions.
Methods And Procedures:
daily tasks were used to assess the relearning ability of the subjects pre- and post-programme.
Experimental Intervention:
one-week self-regulatory training on five selected daily tasks.
Main Outcomes And Results:
these provisory observations would suggest that, with specific guidance for people with different needs, such as with impaired cognitive function and depression, self-regulation is effective in enhancing their relearning.
Conclusion:
Self-regulatory training is effective in enhancing the relearning of lost functions.
