However, in daily activities, patients may rely on the outside world by (re)inspecting information as needed (i.e., offloading), a strategy that is also advocated in memory rehabilitation. While individuals may use offloading in everyday life to support memory, and choose to memorize only to a low or medium extent, capacity tasks do not allow for nor reflect this. To understand how stroke patients use their working memory when less-than-full-loading is allowed, we recorded eye-movements of patients (n = 15) and controls (n = 38) as an index of offloading. Both patients and controls avoided working memory loading and relied heavily on offloading. Strategies varied at the individual level, with a subset of patients showing excessive offloading. Interestingly, these patients were also those who showed abnormal capacity scores, but the reverse was not necessarily true. We conclude that low memory capacity is related to, but does not automatically lead to, offloading behaviour. Even when offloading was hampered, maintaining offloading was still more beneficial than switching to a memory-based strategy, supporting the adoption of external strategies in memory rehabilitation. The free-choice paradigm brings us a step closer to estimating working memory use in everyday life.","PeriodicalId":54729,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychological Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"1-37"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147610684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guided by interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), this qualitative study aimed to understand the self-perceived impact of caregiver stroke on the lives, wellbeing, and relationships of their children. Ten participants took part; aged 8-18 years when a substantial caregiver (nine fathers, one grandmother) had a stroke. Semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Using IPA, individual-level analysis preceded the development of four group-level themes: facing the unexpected; the need for family-centred information; redefined roles and relationships; and changed perspectives. The suddenness of caregiver stroke was an overwhelming emotional experience for children. They faced adjustments across several life domains including family relationships. Limited understanding of the impact of stroke on their caregiver and family life contributed to distress and, in some cases, relational tension. Children saw increased vulnerability in caregivers and took on additional responsibilities. Some described long-term shifts in their own personalities. This study recommends providing well-timed, family-specific and age-appropriate information to support children after caregiver stroke. Information sharing may support children's adaptation to changes in caregiver's behaviour post-stroke, which may reduce the likelihood of relational tension. As most participants in this study had experienced paternal stroke, future research should explore maternal stroke.","PeriodicalId":54729,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychological Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147596293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its capacity to drive broad improvement across cognitive-linguistic domains in bilinguals with aphasia (BWA) remains unclear. This study examined generalization effects (i.e., direct transfer, near transfer, and far transfer) following SFT in 48 Spanish-English BWA who took part in a randomized controlled trial. Participants received 40 h of SFT targeting word retrieval, with generalization assessed across three domains: naming of untrained items (direct transfer), semantic processing (near transfer), as well as global language ability and nonverbal abstract reasoning (far transfer). Results showed (i) robust improvements for trained and untrained naming targets, demonstrating direct transfer, (ii) near transfer effects for select semantic processing tasks, and (iii) far transfer limited to overall language function, with no gains in domain-general cognition. Notably, treatment benefits extended across languages, demonstrating cross-language generalization to multiple domains of language processing. Findings highlight SFT's capacity to drive comprehensive language recovery in BWA, revealing broad generalization effects across languages and linguistic domains. Such effects underscore the importance of systematically examining generalization patterns to optimize rehabilitation outcomes.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02916524.","PeriodicalId":54729,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychological Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"544-570"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12355654/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144509483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison between left- and right-sided HVFDs is also included. Additionally, we examined which reading skills and reading objects individuals with HVFDs wished to improve. Using the novel Hemianopia Reading Questionnaire, we found that individuals with HVFDs reported poorer reading efficacy, poorer reading skills and poorer reading of different objects compared to pre-HVFD levels and control participants. However, love for and the importance of reading appear unaffected by the HVFD. Reading speed and orientation were the most affected skills after HVFD. Individuals with right-HVFDs reported lower reading speed compared to individuals with left-HVFDs. Reading books was the most desired goal for improvement, yet reading books was also the most abandoned object after HVFD. Overall, the current study indicates the importance of reading in individuals with HVFD and highlights that self-reported reading difficulties occur in a broad range of difficulties related to efficacy, skills and reading objects and should be incorporated in future effect measures of HVFD-intervention studies.","PeriodicalId":54729,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychological Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"653-671"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144477862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Narratives regarding the Individual MoL ranged from coping with the limitations imposed by ABI to adopting new values and senses of identity. Social MoL emphasized the importance of family support, while Global MoL centred on adopting a present-focused perspective. The Spiritual MoL highlighted the role of faith and religious beliefs in helping individuals navigate their lives after ABI. Resignification processes were associated with greater life satisfaction post-ABI (NMS), lower psychological and physical burdens (MPHAS), reduced loneliness (UCLALS-R), and more effective coping strategies (BRCS).Conclusions: MoL-Resignification and Identity change after ABI, demonstrates the importance of family and spiritual beliefs in coping within the context of Costa Rican culture.

Interview data (patients: n = 6; staff: n = 4; caregivers: n = 2) suggest the need for time allocation for music listening, help with equipment setup, and trialling to determine duration and frequency.
