Purpose. The purpose was to study the ability of persons with memory impairments after acquired brain injury learn how and use electronic aids daily living (EADL) describe changes in function quality life.Method. Eight participants stayed two apartments equipped a set basic advanced EADL for either 4 or 6 months during an intervention time 2 years. teaching learning method influenced by certain principles errorless learning. Ability measured structured observations. Function life were...
