| Abstract: | Examined the use of an intervention for reducing unawareness of memory deficits in 3 male adults (aged 20–25 yrs) with brain injury. High predicted test scores on a brief multiparametric memory test, relative to actual test scores, were considered underestimations of symptom severity (unawareness). An estimation technique, feedback, and explicit positive reinforcement for decreases in discrepancies between predicted and actual scores were used to reduce unawareness. Differences between Ss' predicted and actual scores decreased over time following treatment for all Ss. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
