Abstract

Primary Objective:

To determine if people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) display deficits in dual tasking ability.

Research Design:

Observational and correlational research design used, to identify and describe the nature of dual task impairment in people with TBI.

Methods And Procedures:

Eighty-six people with TBI were assessed using a new standardized paper-and-pencil assessment of dual tasking ability and a number of other neuropsychological tests assessing attention, executive functioning and memory.

Main Outcome And Results:

Twenty-three out of the 86 people with TBI (26.74%) performed below the cut-off for normal performance, suggesting that only one quarter of the TBI sample assessed had deficits in attentional control.

Conclusions:

Deficits in task co-ordination are not a necessary consequence of TBI.

Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

DefinitionTraumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a disturbance of normal brain function induced by an external mechanical force, such as a direct blow to the head or a penetrating injury. It can affect both brain structure and function, producing a wide range of clinical outcomes. TBI is a heterogeneous condition, meaning its effects may differ based on the type, location, and severity of the injury.Basis of ClassificationTBI is classified based on severity, injury mechanism, or pathophysiology. In...

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory

The cerebellum, while traditionally associated with motor control, also plays a crucial role in memory, particularly in procedural memory, which involves learning motor tasks that become automatic through repetition. For example, studies have shown that when the cerebellum is damaged, individuals or animals lose the ability to learn conditioned motor responses, such as the conditioned eye-blink response in classical conditioning experiments with rabbits. This study demonstrates the cerebellum's...
