Funded Activity Summary

People with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) have trouble recognising changes in their abilities and often fail to notice mistakes on daily tasks. Although people can learn strategies, these are rarely used as needed in daily life. This study will determine whether people with severe TBI become more self-aware and able to transfer what they learn when they are made aware of their errors, as compared to when other people prevent them from making errors. The findings will have major implications for rehabilitation of neurological disorders.
