Abstract:
Motor and cognitive dysfunction is intractable sequela in the acute stage of concussion. While typical concussion recovery occurs in two weeks, empirical evidence suggests that some sequela persist beyond this period, though there is inconsistency surrounding the duration the sequela persist. In part, confusion around the issue is limited by the volume of literature evaluating those with a concussion history, permitting vast interpretations of significance. The purpose of this paper is to review the concussion history literature, summarizing the long-term effects of concussion history on motor and cognitive performance. Additionally, this review intends to provide direction and options of future investigations addressing the long-term effects of concussion on motor and cognitive performance.

Long-term memory can be categorized into two primary types: explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, involves the conscious recollection of information that we deliberately try to remember, recall, and articulate. This type of memory encompasses specific facts, events, and...
