Clinical Question: For adult patients with cognitive linguistic impairment because of traumatic brain injury (TBI), is the use of internal and/or external memory strategies beneficial to memory outcomes compared to alternative or no treatment? Method: Systematic Review. Study Sources: Comprehensive EBSCOhost database search (i.e., ERIC, Academic Search Complete, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Education Source), speechBITE, Cochrane Library, PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycBITE, and the ASHA Practice Portal. Search Terms: traumatic brain injury OR TBI AND intervention OR treatment OR therapy, cognit*, memory, internal strateg* OR external strateg*. Number of Included Studies: 11. Primary Results: The use of internal and external strategies to facilitate positive memory outcomes for TBI patients is supported. A variety of internal and external strategies have been studied with consistent positive results. Conclusion: Both internal and external strategies should be considered for use as compensatory techniques for memory impairments in adults with traumatic brain injuries. The evidence presented in this paper explores a variety of internal and external strategies, and outcomes have revealed an overall positive effect. These strategies have important implications for clinical decision-making for improving patient quality of life after TBI.
