NCT01934621.

Methods	Parallel single‐blind RCT
Participants	128 adult inpatients with primary diagnosis of acute stroke with impairment in higher order cognitive functions (Executive Interview‐14 ≥ 3)
Interventions	Intervention group: strategy training is a form of meta‐cognitive instruction that trains people with stroke‐related cognitive impairments to identify and prioritise problematic daily activities, identify the barriers impeding performance, generate and evaluate their own strategies to address barriers, and apply these skills through iterative practice. Participants use printed workbooks to learn and apply this method. Placebo group: attention control for the non‐specific effects of strategy training. The therapists will administer the standardised and dose‐matched protocol, using scripted open‐ended questions to facilitate participants' reflections on their rehabilitation activities and experiences. In lieu of the strategy training workbook materials, participants will complete a daily journal, and discuss their entries during attention control sessions.
Outcomes	Primary FIM Secondary Selected indices of the Delis‐Kaplan Executive Function System
