Abstract
Ten children younger than 96 months of age and 11 children 96 months of age or older with a history of closed head injury were followed for one-year after injury. Performances on measures of memory and learning were compared from immediately after injury and 1 year post-injury. There was no difference between groups on measures of visual memory, verbal memory, learning, and general memory indices. For children injured prior to reaching 96 months of age, the visual memory index scores recovered significantly more rapidly than did verbal memory scores. Implications for future research with children with closed head injuries are examined.
