Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of attention process training (APT), a training programme that provides practice in a variety of tasks requiring several different types of attention. The APT programme was administered to 23 traumatically brain-injured (TBI) participants. Training lasted about 40 hours, and typically consisted of 2-hour sessions spread out over 7 months. Results show that performance of the TBI participants improved after training on the primary outcome measures, but did not improve significantly more than the performance of a control group, given the outcome measures twice, but no training. We conclude that direct training does not improve the integrity of damaged attention functions, but does result in learning of specific skills.
