Traumatic-Brain Injury (TBI) among College Students: Implications for Mood, Behavior, Cognition, Learning and Physical Health
Speaker: Jerrod Brown, Concordia University, St. Paul, Minnesota
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a bump, blow, jolt or a penetrating head injury that result in atypical brain functioning. Such injuries can manifest in cognitive (e.g., executive control and memory), social (e.g., communication skills), and adaptive (e.g., solving problems) functioning impairments. As a result of TBIs and these accompanying symptoms, individuals could struggle to perform everyday activities and maintain independence. This training will examine the impact TBI has on has on college students and its implications for mood, behavior, cognition, learning, and physical health. Several tips, strategies, and approaches will be highlighted throughout this training. Empirically based research findings will be highlighted throughout this training.
