Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that individuals with traumatic brain injury experience the most significant improvement in skills during the first year following the trauma. While improvements can continue beyond that first year, they tend to be more gradual and less dramatic. Option A is incorrect because improvements tend to slow down after the first year. Option B is incorrect because not all individuals with traumatic brain injury will remain in a coma for a full year. Option C is incorrect because improvement tends to plateau after the first year or two.
