Following TBI in childhood it is common for deficits to be seen in higher order skills, such as executive functions, both in the acute and longer-term post-injury. Despite this, very little evaluative research has been conducted with children post-TBI, particularly in the area of EF.
The current study aimed to develop and implement a pilot intervention programme for adolescent/young adults (n = 3), in the chronic phase of recovery, when EF skills are no longer in a rapid state of development.
Study results highlight the importance and need for accurate and relevant outcome measures that capture subtle as well as more obvious changes following intervention.
儿童创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后，在损伤后的急性期和长期，执行功能等高阶技能出现缺陷很常见。尽管如此，针对TBI后儿童的评估研究却很少，尤其是在执行功能领域。
本研究旨在为处于慢性恢复期的青少年/青年成人（n = 3）制定并实施一项试点干预计划，此时执行功能技能不再处于快速发展状态。
研究结果凸显了准确且相关的结果测量指标的重要性和必要性，这些指标能够捕捉干预后细微以及更明显的变化。
