Methodological Issues in Cognitive Retraining Research

  • Chapter

These procedures have focused largely on the remediation of language and memory disorder. Some have been empirically evaluated using group outcome studies, but most are presented in the context of a narrative case report or through the use of a single-subject experimental design.
