  Ø Therapy is getting better

• When to incorporate CR?

  Stage 1: acutre (0-1 month): hospital, lifesaving measures

• What is the clinical neuropsychology description?

  -scientific research
  -assesment
  -treatment

• What is function training?

  Repeating a practice approach really often so the function restores (like muscles, get stronger) (Brain training, also apps)
  Ø Not really supported per se by evidence

• What are the issues with this training?

  Generalization
  Ø Near transfer: tasks who are really alike can be done again, some support
  Ø Far transfer: skills transfer to tasks who are a bit more different can be done again (like going to the supermarket) > NO support
  Long term: doesn’t do anything in the long run

• What are the evidence of gaming?

  -Healthy People who game 4-6 hours a day
  > Have faster RT to attentional capture
  >Can also better neglect irrelevant cues

  didn’t seem to imbrove cognitive function
  B . . . NPR test should also include outcome measures on daily functioning, self-efficacy and the quality of lige
