Abstract
Ideally, cognitive remediation techniques are intended to improve functional skills, including vocational performance. Unfortunately, many vocational rehabilitation programs place considerable emphasis on prevocational training, despite the absence of evidence indicating generalization of learned skills to vocational settings. The present discussion focuses on development and use of compensatory techniques in the workplace. Few, if any, assumptions regarding generalization are required, and benefits are often realized immediately following introduction of the compensatory strategy. Discussion also focuses on research suggesting priorities for interventions directed at improving cognitive skills.
