Evidence Based Cognitive Rehabilitation: Recommedations for Clinical Practice (Cicerone et al., 2000)

10 important questions on Evidence Based Cognitive Rehabilitation: Recommedations for Clinical Practice (Cicerone et al., 2000)

Cognitive-linguistic therapies (Practice Standard)

Recommended during acute and postacute rehabilitation for persons with language deficits secondary to left hemisphere stroke

Specific interventions for functional communication deficits, including pragmatic conversational skills (Practice Standard)

Recommended for persons with TBI

Compensatory memory strategy training (Practice Standard)

Recommended for persons with mild memory impairments from TBI
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

Attention training, including varied stimulus modalities, levels of complexity, and response demands (Practice Guidelines)


Recommended during postacute rehabilitation for persons with
TBI or stroke. Insufficient evidence exists to distinguish the effects in persons with moderate and severe TBI of specific attention training provided during acute recovery and rehabilitation from spontaneous recovery or from more general cognitive interventions.

Scanning training (Practice guidelines)


Recommended as an important, even critical, intervention element for persons with severe visuoperceptual impairment that includes visual neglect after right hemisphere stroke.


Visuospatial interventions intended to increase visual fields directly without the development of compensatory visual scanning (practice guidelines)

NOT recommended


Cognitive interventions for specific language impairments such as reading comprehension and language formation (practice guidelines)

Recommended after left hemisphere stroke or TBI.


Training in formal problem-solving strategies and their application to everyday situations and functional activities (practice guidelines)


Recommended during postacute rehabilitation for persons with stroke or TBI.

Comprehensive-holistic neuropsychologic rehabilitation (practice guidelines)

Recommended to reduce cognitive and functional disability after TBI.


Isolated use of microcomputer-based exercises to treat unilateral left behavioral inattention (practice guidelines)

NOT recommended, does not seem to be effective

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
