关于轻度创伤性脑损伤（MTBI）儿童认知结果的数据解释目前仍有争议。本研究的目的是探讨6-12岁经历过MTBI的儿童的注意力和执行功能。共有15名MTBI儿童和15名匹配的未受伤儿童参加了这项研究。使用注意力表现电池测试的注意力任务在受伤一年后进行。与未受伤的儿童相比，MTBI儿童在选择性注意力和更新任务上的表现较不准确。这些初步研究结果支持了MTBI对儿童受伤后一年的特定注意功能有影响的观点。
The interpretation of the data regarding cognitive outcome in children who have suffered from mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) remains currently controversial. The aim of the present study is to explore attentional and executive functioning in 6-12-year-old children who experienced a MTBI. A total of 15 children with MTBI and 15 matched noninjured children participated in the study. Attentional tasks using the Test for Attentional Performance battery were administered one year after the injury. In comparison to the noninjury children, MTBI children performed less accurately on selective attentional and updating tasks. These preliminary findings support the view that MTBI can have an impact on specific attentional functioning in children one year postinjury.
