Brain injury study unlocks secrets of indirect learning
NCT ID NCT07345481
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how adults with acquired brain injury (like from stroke or trauma) learn connections between things without being directly taught. Researchers will test 40 participants using a task that links pill shapes, functions, and names. The goal is to understand how brain injury affects this type of learning, which could help improve rehabilitation programs.
