Explanation is not permission.

This dossier explains the evidence and its limits. It is not a diagnosis, personal recommendation, assessment, clearance, performance promise or training programme. Actionable teaching appears only when the canonical Power record explicitly authorises it.

Complete bounded explanation

What this power means.

Capability to develop or express cognitive rehabilitation in a declared context without inheriting broader claims.

What the current evidence supports

Selected people with acquired brain injury can learn strategies that improve everyday executive functioning, often with external cues.

How to observe or measure it without overclaiming

Separate impairment tests, strategy use, device-on function, device-off retention and everyday participation.

Myth

Retrain the brain back to full power

Metric

Everyday goal completion, test performance, cue dependence, burden and retention

Boundary

A brain-game score or aided gain does not establish global or unaided recovery.

Negative and limiting findings

  • Both trial groups improved on most neuropsychological tests.
  • The effect belongs to a programme including external cueing, not an unaided faculty.

Claims this evidence cannot support

  • restore your whole brain
  • unlock executive function
  • text reminders prove unaided recovery
  • brain games cure injury

How to learn this Power now.

With a rehabilitation clinician, Tariq packs water bottle, notebook, glasses and appointment card, resumes at the correct unchecked row after a phone interruption, and preserves any omission plus its one checklist correction.

  1. Get readyThe clinician screens cognition, insight, behaviour, fatigue and task hazards.
  2. Learn the method8 concrete steps teach the permitted method from start to finish.
  3. See right and wrong5 comparisons show correct or safer execution beside common wrong or riskier choices.
  4. PractiseAt the clinician-set frequency, repack a matched four-object bag with one harmless object changed and the phone sound after a different completed row. Keep CARD tray and restart marker for the first comparison; fade only one sheet feature after the clinician sees correct row–object matching, and restore it if omissions or duplicate placements return.
  5. Check progressRecord required objects present out of four; missing/duplicate/out-of-order rows; whether restart used last tick then first blank row; CARD tray, prompt and clinician help; time and burden. Preserve baseline tick pattern beside the one corrected sheet feature.

Authority boundary: Titan teaches the complete method; a qualified person controls the parts that require supervision, clearance, specialist equipment, load, dose or progression. The method is Power-specific; its actionability follows this treatment.

Current teaching and evidence boundary

The next gate remains visible.

External confirmation is required before higher-authority use because: a clinical, high-risk or regulated configuration; a supervision or non-attempt boundary; cultural, community-rights or affected-person authority; a restricted safety or legitimacy boundary.

A Power-specific tutorial is available at /tutorials/pwr-062/. It contains a plain-English method, 8 ordered steps, a worked example, right-versus-wrong comparisons, specific mistakes and corrections, practice, measurement, accessibility, stopping rules and evidence. Its supervised mode remains controlling.
