Domain-specific and generalization effects of cognitive intervention in diffuse axonal injury: a case report

The neurobehavioral
sequelae of traumatic brain injury
significantly contribute to the longterm
disability associated with this
pathology.1 Thus far, there is insufficient
evidence for either domainspecific
or generalization effects
resulting from cognitive intervention
in memory, executive functioning,
or speed-of-processing domains.
Here, we report on the case of an
adolescent patient who reduced the
aforementioned cognitive deficits
after being administered a structured
cognitive rehabilitation program,
allowing the reestablishment of
premorbid academic and interpersonal
functioning
