“…Retrograde amnesia for personal episodes commonly is observed in cases of closed-head injury (e.g., Blomert & Sisler, 1974;Russell, 1971;Russell & Nathan, 1946;Schacter & Crovitz, 1977;Sisler & Penner, 1975;Whitty & Zangwill, 1977;Williams & Zangwill, 1952;Yarnell & Lynch, 1970). Figure 2 presents the proportion of episodic memories produced from four different time periods: from within the previous 12 months, from more than a year but less than 5 years ago, from more than 5 but less than 10 years ago, and from more than 10 years ago.…”

The authors present the case of W.J., who, as a result of a head injury, temporarily lost access to her episodic memory. W.J. was asked both during her amnesia and following its resolution to make trait judgments about herself. Because her responses when she could access episodic memories were consistent with her responses when she could not, the authors conclude that the loss of episodic memory did not greatly affect the availability of her trait self-knowledge. The authors discuss how neuropsychological evidence can contribute to theorizing about personality and social processes.

“…The presence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in impaired consciousness at the time of the trauma (Schacter & Crovitz, 1977), and a range of postconcussive symptoms following trauma such as memory problems, confusion, difficulty sleeping, poor concentration, and irritability (e.g., Bohnen & Jolles, 1992). This suggests that symptoms of ASD and PTSD reliant on consciousness at the time of the trauma will be less likely, and symptoms which overlap with postconcussive symptoms more likely, in survivors who sustain a TBI relative to survivors who do not sustain a TBI.…”

Traumatic brain injury, dissociation, and posttraumatic stress disorder in road traffic accident survivors

This study investigated the symptom profiles of acute stress disorder (ASD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in participants who did and did not sustain traumatic brain injury (TBI), following a road traffic accident. The participants were assessed at three time points: as soon as possible posttrauma as well as at 6 weeks and 3 months posttrauma. At the first assessment, fewer participants from the TBI group recalled feeling fear and helplessness at the time of the trauma, fewer TBI participants reported recurrent intrusive thoughts and images, and more TBI participants reported dissociation since the trauma, relative to the non-TBI group. At the second assessment, fewer participants from the TBI group recalled feeling intense helplessness at the time of the trauma. Fewer TBI participants also reported reliving and physiological reactions on trauma reminders relative to the non-TBI group. At 3 months posttrauma, there was no difference in PTSD symptom profile between non-TBI and TBI groups. Our findings indicate that the presence of TBI is likely to influence the distribution of certain symptoms, but need not be a significant barrier to diagnosing ASD and PTSD.

“…Most studies use indirect measures that rely on observational data or inference based on patterns of scores from psychological tests [4,5]. It is commonly accepted that brain injury or stroke reduces a person's ability to organize [19,20]. It is, therefore, necessary to develop a sensitive, objective, and performance based measure of organization that can be used to assess baseline SO skill and to document improvement over time.…”

Subjective organization refers to the human tendency to impose order on seemingly unrelated events in a person's environment. This phenomenon that has been studied among individuals with acquired and traumatic brain injuries as they have a diminished ability to subjectively organize novel information. Thus, researchers have begun developing measures of subjective organization intended to be used as a diagnostic tool. The purpose of this review is to summarize what is known about subjective organization and to outline how a measure of subjective organization can be used to assess the extent of organizational deficits for persons with acquired and traumatic brain injuries. Moreover, this review will discuss the clinical implications of measuring subjective organization among individuals with a brain injury.
