This happened to me following a concussion. I worked with a therapist who suggested a "game" that could help my word recall. Every night before sleeping, pick a category and try to name an example from the category for each letter of the alphabet. Choose a different category every night so you're always challenging yourself.

Of course there's no substitute for working with a PT who specializes in post TBI recovery.

I've gained a lot of my recall back (though not at 100%).

> name an example from the category

Do you mean synonyms, or something else? Can you give an example of a category and A, B, C please? Thanks.

Yeah for sure. So say your category is "fruits and vegetables". You might say Avocado, Banana, Celery, etc. The goal is to challenge yourself, and it's more of a stretch than you'd think (but a good exercise). Or at least, it was a stretch for me especially at the beginning
