Abstract:
Tinker Toy test performance is presented for a normative group of 5- to 12-year-old children. Contrary to reported findings for some executive function tasks, developmental trends in Tinker Toy Test performance were not found. Results from a large group (N=55) of children who had sustained traumatic brain injury demonstrated that Tinker Toy Test performance was sensitive to the effects of traumatic brain injury and significantly associated with separate clinical ratings of functional or executive impairment. Present findings support the utility of the Tinker Toy Test as one component of the pediatric neuropsychological evaluation following traumatic brain injury.
