Real-life cognitive functioning after acquired brain injury: An experience sampling study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acquired brain injury (ABI) often leads to cognitive impairments, typically measured with cognitive tests in controlled environments. However, cognitive functioning in daily life is likely to fluctuate. This study explored the relationship between traditional subjective and objective cognitive measures and cognitive variability throughout the day and hypothesized that retrospective complaints are more strongly associated with momentary than baseline objective performance, and that greater cognitive variability would relate to higher subjective complaints. It also explored within-person associations between momentary cognitive performance and momentary affect, fatigue, social company and setting.

Methods

We conducted an experience sampling method study among 41 ABI
