title: Neuropsychological outcome during late stage of recovery from brain injury: a proposal.
abstract: The neuropsychological outcome of Cranio-Cerebral Injury changes with time. This change may be best regarded as a specific effect/general effects ratio which lowers over time. The specific effects refer to disorders of information, recognition and symbolization. The present paper describes the general effects of brain injury. We will describe the lowered capacity of the cognitive system, which results in disorders of different aspects of concept formation and utilization (i.e. disorders of information processing).
