“…This training teaches individuals a meta-cognitive strategy that can be used to increase awareness of impaired skills or processes (through self-assessment and self-monitoring), develop goals and plans to address areas of disability, and improve their ability to perform desired activities (thus reducing disability). Previous studies have reported improved awareness of cognitive impairments, improved ability to verbally articulate and implement the meta-cognitive strategy, reductions in performance errors and inappropriate behaviors during laboratory tasks, and improved performance of skilled behaviors among individuals with chronic traumatic brain injury and stroke (Cicerone, 2002; Dawson et al, 2009; McEwen, Polatajko, Huijbregts, & Ryan, 2010; Von Cramon, Matthes-Von Cramon, & Mai, 1991; Webster & Scott, 1983). Recent evidence from 3 case studies suggests that these cognitive strategies may be effective in helping individuals with cognitive impairments after traumatic brain injury reduce disability in self-selected activities in their home and community (Dawson et al, 2009).…”
