Abstract: Cognitive rehabilitation has evolved to be a common clinical practice, despite questions regarding the scientific basis for its effectiveness. A selective interpretation of existing studies suggests that non-specific treatment factors play an important role in the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation. Some future directions for the science and practice of cognitive rehabilitation are discussed.
