non-CACR and a control group in treating Chinese persons with persistent short-term memory
(working memory) deficits. The strategy adopted an eclectic approach that integrating errorless
learning and multi-sensory environment enrichment concepts. Initial findings indicated that both
CACR and non-CACR had significant improvement in memory following treatment and 1-month
follow-up. Though the results did not support differential efficacy between CACR and
conventional programme in augmenting the memory process, feasibility of the CACR was
evidenced. Methodological considerations of cognitive remediation paradigms was also discussed.

brain injury, Sing Fai Tam, Y L Wallace Soong, W K David Man, Dept. of Rehab. Sci. The
Hong Kong Poly. Univ., Hong Kong, China
Effectiveness of a 20-session on-line interactive analogy problem solving skill training
programme was evaluated. Fifteen Hong Kong Chinese with brain injury participated in this study.
They were randomly assigned to an on-line programme, a computer-assisted programme, and a
therapist-administered programme respectively. The three programmes shared similar structure
and contents including basic component problem solving skill, reflective sessions and functional
problem solving. Subjects of the three programmes generally demonstrated higher post-training
self-efficacy and basic problem solving skills. The on-line programme, produced better and
quicker improvement in problem-solving performance, and demonstrated a general trend toward
less error-making in complex problem solving task.

The aim of this study is to describe social insurance officers experiences of how quality and
cost-effectiveness of work rehabilitation processes can be improved. Qualitative interviews were
done with ten social insurance officers in Sweden. Their experiences could be described in six
categories; 1) early identification of problems, needs and interventions, 2) clear goal formulations,
3)a focus on psychosocial factors,4)a greater variety of possible interventions 5)by activating
employers to a greater extent in work rehabilitation and 6) by a closer cooperation and information
exchange with other rehabilitation actors. To activate employers to a higher extent may also
improve work rehabilitation processes.
