Brief Summary: Prospective memory PM is memory to complete future tasks such as recalling to give a note to someone when you next see them pick up milk on the way home or remembering to keep an appointment This study will evaluate PM in children with traumatic brain injury TBI
Detailed Description: While much has been learned about how children with TBIs learn and recall stories word lists and pictures little is known about how they perform PM tasks Impairment in PM could have serious implications for academic and vocational pursuits This study will investigate PM in children with mild or severe TBI The study will focus on three major themes 1 strategies that may help children with TBI overcome or minimize their PM deficits 2 how specific areas of cognition can be impaired following TBI and in turn impair PM and 3 the impact of PM deficits on a childs daily functioning both at school and at home The study will also evaluate children without TBI control group

Each child will participate in one study evaluation The evaluation will last approximately 4 hours with a lunch break and other rest breaks as necessary Assessments will include neuropsychological tests of attention memory and general intellectual functioning Experimental tasks will include measures of metacognition for prospective memory elucidation of strategic versus automatic processes involved in PM and the effect of motivation manipulations in overcoming PM deficits with varying working memory loads The childs parent or guardian will also be asked to complete some tests to measure the impact of PM deficits on the childs daily home life
