Abstract
Two studies assessed the effects of a training
procedure (Goal Management Training, GMT), derived from
Duncan's theory of goal neglect, on disorganized behavior
following TBI. In Study 1, patients with traumatic brain
injury (TBI) were randomly assigned to brief trials of
GMT or motor skills training. GMT, but not motor skills
training, was associated with significant gains on everyday
paper-and-pencil tasks designed to mimic tasks that are
problematic for patients with goal neglect. In Study 2,
GMT was applied in a postencephalitic patient seeking to
improve her meal-preparation abilities. Both naturalistic
observation and self-report measures revealed improved
meal preparation performance following GMT. These studies
provide both experimental and clinical support for the
efficacy of GMT toward the treatment of executive functioning
deficits that compromise independence in patients with
brain damage. (JINS, 2000, 6, 299–312.)
