Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kapur concluded that doctors and scientists who suffered brain damage did not fully recover lost cognitive functions. However, their cognitive reserve allowed them to compensate for their deficits by accomplishing cognitive tasks in alternative ways. This supports option B, which states that their reserve allowed them to compensate for their deficits without fully recovering lost functions. The other options, such as A, C, D, and E, are not supported by Kapur's findings.
