In the United States, an estimated 1.7 million individuals are affected by traumatic brain injuries each year. Individuals with traumatic brain injury suffer many cognitive communication deficits, including attention, memory and information processing. As a result, increased processing time and delayed response time is often observed in these individuals. This manifests itself as pragmatics issues, such as an awkward pause in conversation. Research shows that computer-based cognitive rehabilitation can help decrease this delay in response time (Thomas-Stonell, Johnson, Schuller, & Jutai, 1994). This study examines the effect on computer-based cognitive training on delay in response time in individuals with traumatic brain injury.
