The subjects were administered an extensive neuropsychological battery of informal and formal pre and post-tests. The Categorization Program (CP) is a training program containing eight hierarchical levels designed to retrain categorization skills in rehabilitation patients following TBI. The objective of the current study was to analyze subject performance on informal pre and post-test measures and the first level of the CP. Older adult subjects benefited from implementation of the categorization training program evidenced by improvement from pre to post testing performance as well as decreased need for support across categorization tasks. The cognitive changes associated with the aging process caused the older adults to utilize more cueing support on categorization tasks than subjects with TBI. All subjects successfully learned and applied object description strategies. 2006-04-19 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1145461078 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1145461078 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
