Controlled Study of Affect Recognition Training for Individuals With Acquired Brain Injury
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Facial Affect Recognition Training and Stories of Emotional Inference for Acquired Brain Injury (Including Stroke). Completed, enrolled 71 participants across 4 sites in 3 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of three training programs designed to teach persons with acquired brain injury (ABI) to recognize emotions. It is hypothesized that the training programs will enhance several aspects of emotion recognition in persons with ABI. Furthermore, it is expected that these effects will be maintained over time, and will positively influence participants' social behavior and integration.
