Abstract
Cognitive retraining consists of a group of educational techniques ostensibly designed to remediate the impairments in cognition that result from brain injury (Diller & Gordon, 1981; Luria, 1963). For example, aphasia resulting from dominant hemisphere injury is treated using a wide array of language retraining techniques that vary with the type of aphasic symptoms (Darley, 1975). Similarly, memory disorder is treated using mnemonic techniques, such as visual mediation, or memory-assistive devices, like appointment books (Crovitz, 1979; Gianutsos, 1981; Schacter & Glisky, 1986).
