NEW YORK, Feb. 7 (TNSres) -- New York University issued the following news release:
If you try to save a file while your laptop lags, it won't save. Similarly, when our brains have delayed processing speeds, they "lag" and impair our ability to receive information and store a memory. Researchers find that for people with acquired brain injuries (ABI), slower processing speeds--slower rates of absorbing information--make it much more difficult to create and recall memories. . . .
