Abstract

The article focuses on memory rehabilitation following stroke and traumatic brain injury, examining the effects of internal and external memory strategies delivered through an eight-week transdisciplinary program. Eighteen individuals with acquired brain injuries, averaging 51.6 years old and about 76.6 days post-injury, participated in 8 to 10 hours of memory training involving techniques such as clustering, organizing information, rhyming, and acronyms. Results showed significant improvements in delayed list and story recall, with gains approaching one standard deviation, indicating enhanced immediate and delayed memory performance. While these interventions improved memory skills and self-reported short-term memory, not all patients opted to engage in this treatment, and the long-term durability of gains was not assessed.
