The case study method involves an in-depth examination of an individual or group, often focusing on a unique or unusual experience or condition. Given that the cognitive psychologist conducted an intensive descriptive study of an individual with an unusual brain injury, the case study method is the most likely method used. The other options (baseline method, idiogram method, unipolar method) are not typically associated with intensive descriptive studies of individuals with brain injuries.
