title: Transfer and generalization of cognitive skill after traumatic brain injury.
abstract: The authors discuss the principles of transfer and generalization of learning as they apply to rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury. A general model is provided that predicts the outcome of most rehabilitation therapies. Implications of the model for improving treatment are discussed. Two experimental tests of the model are described and the results are in accord with model predictions.
