    We are able to illustrate the potential transfer of treatment effects in a large sample of stroke patients. We found indications for the occurrence of transfer, although the study was not originally designed for the purpose of evaluating transfer. Therefore these results are worth exploring more pro...

    Reliability analysis showed strong interrater reliability across items (Spearman r, .749-1.00) and high internal consistency (Cronbach alpha=.778). Factor analysis of the Cog-Log using principal components extraction revealed a unitary factor (eigenvalue=3.48). Cog-Log items designed to measure work...

    Recovery of orientation provides important information about recovery following TBI and is predictive of rehabilitation outcome. More frequent administration of a formal orientation measure does not seem to expedite the recovery of orientation, which on average seems to progress at a steady pace in...
