THE RESPONSE OF BRAIN-DAMAGED PATIENTS TO A REHABILITATION REGIME
Wolfson Medical Rehabilitation Centre, St. George's Hospital London, S. W.20
No relationship was found between non-verbal learning capacity (taken as a measure of brain damage) and progress towards functional independence as measured by ad hoc scales of mobility, self-care, and general performance in a rehabilitation centre. This leaves open the possibility that cognitive and motivational factors of the kind investigated have a bearing on the patient's ultimate social adjustment.
