Description
Emily Richards and co-authors ask whether time out of the home links to thinking skills after brain injury, in a 2023 study. The group was small: eleven adults with mild thinking problems and a past head injury, enrolled in a computer game program. At the start, each took a survey of how far and how often they ranged from home, plus tests of focus, memory, and speed.
Days spent in the neighborhood tracked most strongly with a focus test, less with speed, and least with memory. None of the links reached firm statistical ground in so small a group, though. The authors plan GPS tracking to measure time outside in a sharper way.
