TL;DR: The findings contribute to the growing body of evidence that sleep is involved in the physiologic processes underlying neural recovery and the association between anxiety and depression and the observed changes in sleep in TBI patients warrants further examination.

TL;DR: Investigating the interrelationships between subjective memory reports, performance on traditional memory tests, and performance on tests of prospective memory provided preliminary evidence that prospective memory tests are sensitive to TBI-related neurological impairment and, in comparison to traditional tests, may be better indicators of functional memory capacity.

TL;DR: Greater time since injury and higher education levels were associated with higher fatigue levels, independent of the effects of mood, and injury severity and age were not found to be significant predictors of subjective fatigue severity in TBI participants.

TL;DR: A rating scale of attentional behaviour is designed to be completed by therapists treating traumatically head-injured patients who were receiving a remedial intervention for their attentional deficits and to examine the scale's correlation with neuropsychological measures of attention.

TL;DR: Evaluating a computer-mediated programme for the remediation of deficits in speed of information processing in severely head-injured subjects suggested that, once spontaneous recovery and practice effect were controlled, the patients showed little response to the interventions in terms of the dependent measures.
