Functional Cognitive Activities for Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury: A Pilot Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this quantitative pilot study was to examine the effectiveness of the Functional Cognition Activities (FCA) for Adults with Brain Injury: A Sequential Approach, as authored by Mr. Rob Koch, OTR/L, to improve performance in meaningful occupations and decrease undesirable side effects. Individuals with TBI may have deficits in functional cognition, such as problem solving and lack of awareness, which could hinder their abilities to complete everyday occupations. Current literature has supported cognitive rehabilitation interventions to restore lost functions, however, there is limited research supporting the generalization of functional cognition skills to everyday occupations. The study was composed of 16 one-on-one intervention sessions with two participants with mild to moderate cognitive impairment. Intervention sessions consisted of participants completing individualized schedules of occupation-based tasks. The goal of each session was not to complete each task but to stay on schedule. The FCA approach incorporates three-global elements of functional cognition, namely, time parameters, environment, and interpersonal relationships which were used to reflect an individual’s level of independence. This study utilized a pretest posttest design using the Goal Attainment Scale, Kohlman Evaluation of Living Skills, and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure to measure occupational performance and the participant’s perceived performance. The results of this pilot study contributed to the field of occupational therapy by providing preliminary research on the FCA approach for future studies to help individuals with TBI improve their functional cognition and improve independence.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
