Abstract
The field of cognitive rehabilitation lacks a cohesive paradigm for promoting and studying generalization of treatment. This article describes a set of generalization principles adapted from the applied behavioral literature that possess broad applicability to different types of cognitive intervention. These principles are then applied to four distinct attention and memory interventions: attention process training, training the use of compensatory memory systems, prospective memory training, and metacognitive strategy training. Using the principles as an organizing framework, examples of methods to facilitate generalization of cognitive therapies are offered. The importance of future research in the area of generalization is underscored.
