Applied Cognition & TBI Task Force
Vision
It is challenging to select instruments that are feasible for use in clinical settings that are also reliable, valid and impose a low patient burden. Identifying measurement of applied cognition in rehabilitation settings is a high priority.
Goals
This group will review published research literature and evaluate how to select measures of applied cognition for patients with TBI.
