简要总结
Up to 28% of undergraduate college students report a suspected history of traumatic brain injury. Following traumatic brain injury, college students fail and repeat more courses and have lower grade point averages. Further complicating this problem may be the fact that college students lack knowledge of traumatic brain injury definition, its associated symptoms, and individuals involved in post-injury management. In this project, the investigators propose to compare the use of an established treatment model (i.e., the Dynamic Coaching Model) to a novel protocol (i.e., the Apprenticeship Approach) that includes explicit instruction about traumatic brain injury in college students with this population. The investigators will use a group comparison design to examine the efficacy of this instructional component. This work incorporates findings from educational psychology and speech-language pathology (e.g., the included instructional materials adhere to the principles of adult learning). As such, this work will advance the field's basic understanding of currently recommended treatment components and will systematically examine the effects of incorporating explicit instruction into an existing treatment model.

研究组 & 干预措施
Dynamic Coaching Model
The Dynamic Coaching Model is an established treatment approach that entails training college students with executive function impairments (e.g., those with a history of traumatic brain injury) to rely on their own executive functions in order to problem solve and reason in real-life situations requiring them to do so (e.g., taking college classes).
干预措施: Dynamic Coaching Model (Behavioral)
Apprenticeship Approach for College Students
The Apprenticeship Approach is a novel treatment approach that incorporates explicit education about: (a) traumatic brain injury definition; (b) traumatic brain injury symptomatology; and (c) individuals who may be able to provide assistance to the individual with traumatic brain injury into the existing Dynamic Coaching Model.
干预措施: Apprenticeship Approach (Behavioral)
