Scientists at Kessler Foundation reported results from a randomized controlled trial examining the influence of processing speed on treatment benefits of the Kessler Foundation modified Story Memory Technique (KF-mSMT) in individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). They found that processing speed played a role in benefit from the KF-mSMT on a list learning task, but not on a prose memory task.
Their article,"The influence of information processing speed on benefit from learning and memory rehabilitation in TBI: a sub-analysis of the TBI-MEM trial," was published in, and memory. These impairments can have substantial negative effects on their abilities to function in everyday life.
In the current study, the research team looked at the influence of processing speed on outcomes from the KF-mSMT, a well validatedprogram effective for improving learning and memory in individuals with moderate to severe TBI. "We found that processing speed was significantly associated with the efficacy of the KF-mSMT on the task of verbal list learning," said Dr. Chiaravalloti, director of the Centers for Neuropsychology, Neuroscience, and Traumatic Brain Injury Research."In contrast, we saw no association with prose memory, a finding that is interesting to consider."
