有限的研究调查了儿童创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后的特定注意力后遗症，如持续的、选择性的和转移的注意力，以及处理的速度。人们对这些技能的恢复模式或它们与持续发展的相互作用知之甚少。本研究对71例轻度、中度或重度TBI患儿在急性、6个月、12个月和24个月时间点的注意力能力进行了检测。结果表明，重度TBI患儿通常表现最差，但随着时间的推移恢复得最快。恢复的模式依赖于被测量的注意成分。具体来说，在更复杂和时间紧迫的任务中，这种缺陷最为明显。虽然随着时间的推移，许多区域显示出恢复，但对于一些注意力部分，困难持续到受伤后24个月。
Limited research has investigated specific attentional sequelae following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), such as sustained, selective, and shifting attention, as well as speed of processing. Little is known about the pattern of recovery of these skills or their interaction with ongoing development. The present study examined attentional abilities at acute, 6-, 12-, and 24-month time points postinjury in a group of 71 children who had sustained a mild, moderate, or severe TBI Results indicated that children who sustained a severe TBI generally performed poorest, but showed most recovery over time. The pattern of recovery was dependent on the attentional component being measured. Specifically, deficits were most evident on more complex and timed tasks. While a number of areas showed recovery over time, for some attentional components, difficulties persisted to 24 months postinjury.
