What are the most common cognitive problems associated with brain injury?

 

A: Cognitive problems are specific skill deficits that may occur following a brain injury. Some of the most common cognitive problems are:

  • Arousal or over-stimulation
  • Attention and filtering issues
  • Information coding and retrieval (memory) issues
  • Learning, both using old information and acquiring new information
  • Problem solving
  • Higher-level thinking skills also known as “executive skills.”

Some cognitive problems resolve themselves over time and through rehabilitation, while others may persist and require specific rehabilitation interventions. There is a relationship between cognitive problems and neurobehavioral problems.
