Abstract:

The present study evaluated an A-B-A single case design attention-remediation program for traumatically brain-injured survivors with chronic attention deficits. Four adult male TBI survivors participated in an intensive, hierarchically ordered, attention-remediation program based on Posner's four-component model of attention. No clinically significant improvement was obtained on the attentional measures, neuropsychological variables, psychological characteristics, activities of daily living, or subjective ratings of changes in attentional abilities. The efficacy of this attention-remediation program for TBI survivors is examined in light of other outcome studies.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.

Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

DefinitionTraumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a disturbance of normal brain function induced by an external mechanical force, such as a direct blow to the head or a penetrating injury. It can affect both brain structure and function, producing a wide range of clinical outcomes. TBI is a heterogeneous condition, meaning its effects may differ based on the type, location, and severity of the injury.Basis of ClassificationTBI is classified based on severity, injury mechanism, or pathophysiology.
