Abstract: Twenty-four clients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) were tested in 3 different memory paradigms to determine the effect of monetary incentives on performance. In each experiment, the rewards increased performance relative to a no reward condition. The results are interpreted in terms of the author's incentive-based model of cognitive retraining.
