“…The greater decline in memory relative to attention/working memory in the present clinical sample is consistent with previous findings on the WMS-III and WMS-R in TBI and other neurological groups Hawkins, 1998;Reid & Kelly, 1993;The Psychological Corporation, 1997;Wilhelm & Johnstone, 1995;Wilde et al, 2001). While working memory was significantly related to TBI severity, the overall effect size for the WMI was moderate.…”

Published information pertaining to the clinical utility of the WMS-III in assessing memory impairment in traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains inadequate. WMS-III findings are reported for 180 litigants with post-acute moderate to extremely severe TBI, classified into three groups according to injury severity, and a healthy control group. A significant "dose-response" relationship was found between memory impairment and TBI severity for most of the WMS-III indexes and subtests. Effect sizes were large for the Immediate and General Memory Indexes and medium for the Working Memory Index. In general, TBI had a greater effect on the Visual than Auditory Indexes. Effect sizes were greatest for Family Pictures and least for the auditory recognition and working memory tasks. Group findings indicate the immediate memory tasks to be clinically useful in relation to a severe or extremely severe TBI, but not for less severe trauma. Delayed memory tasks do not provide information additional to that obtained from immediate memory measures. The revised Tulsky indexes are no more sensitive to the effects of TBI than the original ones. Differences between WMS-III memory indexes are unlikely to be of diagnostic utility although memory-intelligence discrepancies may be.

“…Because memory is one of the most important cognitive processes, and memory difficulties after TBI are usually long lasting, this type of impairment has been found to be debilitating and difficult to treat (Levin, 1991;Williamson, Scott & Adams, 1996). In the literature, there exists a large number of studies that have examined the nature and effects of memory impairment following TBI (e.g., Geffen, Butterworth, Forrester & Geffen, 1994;Haut, Petros, Frank & Lamberty, 1990;Levin & Goldstein, 1986;Mangels, Craik, Levine, Schwartz & Stuss, 2000;Millis & Dijkers, 1993;Reid & Kelly, 1993;Shum, Harris & O'Gorman, 2000;Shum, Sweeper & Murray, 1996;Vanderploeg, Crowell & Curtiss, 2001).…”

Prospective Memory and Traumatic Brain Injury: A Review

Brain Impairment

This article aimed to review the assessment and treatment of prospective memory impairment in individuals with traumatic brain injury. The three assessment techniques reviewed included questionnaires, psychological tests, and experimental procedures. Because interest in this area is relatively new, not many assessment techniques have been specifically developed to assess the various constructs of prospective memory. Of these, most lack a firm theoretical basis, adequate norms, and strong psychometric properties. Rehabilitative techniques, based on remedial and compensatory approaches, were then evaluated. Intervention methods that show promise include a prospective memory training approach, diary or memory notebook use, and electronic aids. Nevertheless, there is a need for further controlled trials with larger sample sizes to more thoroughly evaluate these methods. Self-awareness of memory impairment and generalisation of gains from treatment are another two issues identified as important for assessing and treating prospective memory impairment.

“…The hypotheses regarding known-groups validity were accepted for the HVLT-R delayed recall task but rejected for the total score in a mTBI sample (79), and test-retest reliability in a TBI sample of unknown severity met the correlation cut-off for the group, but not for individual patients for total recall and delayed recall only (83). Convergent and divergent construct validity hypothesis testing for other instruments were not supported for all subscales/tasks, and were not always in line with clinical expectations (69, 78).…”

“…Where construct validity was evaluated, at baseline or follow-up assessments, correlation strength between scores of instruments measuring the same construct, or scores of groups of people with known differences in cognitive functioning, were not always in line with clinical expectations. There is evidence of moderate to strong convergent validity of the original version of CVLT in mixed severity TBI samples (64), FIM-Cog in severe and mixed TBI samples (67); ImPACT in mTBI samples (65, 66); MMSE in mixed severity TBI (80); PASAT in mild and mixed severity samples (69); ROCF in severe and mixed samples (70, 71); SCWT, and WAIS and WMS in all TBI severity samples (63, 72–75, 77, 78).…”

Measuring Change Over Time: A Systematic Review of Evaluative Measures of Cognitive Functioning in Traumatic Brain Injury

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objectives: The purpose of evaluative instruments is to measure the magnitude of change in a construct of interest over time. The measurement properties of these instruments, as they relate to the instrument's ability to fulfill its purpose, determine the degree of certainty with which the results yielded can be viewed. This work systematically reviews all instruments that have been used to evaluate cognitive functioning in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and critically assesses their evaluative measurement properties: construct validity, test-retest reliability, and responsiveness. Data Sources: MEDLINE, Central, EMBASE, Scopus, PsycINFO were searched from inception to December 2016 to identify longitudinal studies focused on cognitive evaluation of persons with TBI, from which instruments used for measuring cognitive functioning were abstracted. MEDLINE, instrument manuals, and citations of articles identified in the primary search were then screened for studies on measurement properties of instruments utilized at least twice within the longitudinal studies. Study Selection: All English-language, peer-reviewed studies of longitudinal design that measured cognition in adults with a TBI diagnosis over any period of time, identified in the primary search, were used to identify instruments. A secondary search was carried out to identify all studies that assessed the evaluative measurement properties of the instruments abstracted in the primary search. Data Extraction: Data on psychometric properties, cognitive domains covered and clinical utility were extracted for all instruments. Results: In total, 38 longitudinal studies from the primary search, utilizing 15 instruments, met inclusion and quality criteria. Following review of studies identified in the secondary search, it was determined that none of the instruments utilized had been assessed for all the relevant measurement properties in the TBI population. The most frequently assessed property was construct validity. Conclusions: There is insufficient evidence for the validity and reliability of instruments measuring cognitive functioning, longitudinally, in persons with TBI. Several instruments with well-defined construct validity in TBI samples warrant further assessment for test-retest reliability and responsiveness.
