DOIAbstract
Primary objective: to examine implicit and explicit memory outcome in children who had sustained severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) through childhood. Opposite patterns of impairments were expected: (i) impaired implicit memory in children with early TBI (TBI-EC,<6 years) and (ii) impaired explicit memory in children with late TBI (TBI-LC,≥6 years). Research design: children who had sustained severe TBI more then 1 year ago were assessed. Methods and procedure: fourteen children who had sustained severe TBI (TBI-EC, n=10 and TBI-LC, n=4) between 8 months and 13 years 7 months of age and 13 non-injured control subjects (NC) participated. Implicit (repetition priming and skill learning) and explicit verbal memory were examined. Results: the ...
