Abstract:
Through the use of multiple case study design, this project examined the variations in executive function exhibited by two subjects who sustained frontal lobe damage. The study then investigated the relationship between executive functional deficit and activity preference. Subjects were trained in computerized cognitive retraining and conventional cognitive retraining. Subjects were then asked to select either modality. Each subject was tested for initiation and overall executive function, cognitive status and disability level. Findings revealed that executive functional deficits present in varied and unique ways and that activity preferrence is related to the unique constellation of sequelae rather than location of injury. Further implications point to the value of combining informal and formal inquiry techniques to patient assessment as well as research on closed head injury intervention.
