Individuals in the adolescent age group are at particularly high risk for being involved in accidents. Closed head injury is a common consequence of motor vehicle crashes. As acute medical interventions are becoming more sophisticated and successful, more teenagers are surviving such accidents. However, cognitive deficits frequently result in weaknesses in intelligence, memory capacity, and abstract thinking. Such weaknesses can emerge in cases of mild head trauma as well. These cognitive deficits can have a profound impact on the adolescent's academic, social, and family functioning.
青少年年龄组的个体遭遇事故的风险特别高。闭合性头部损伤是机动车碰撞的常见后果。随着急性医疗干预措施变得越来越复杂且成功，越来越多的青少年在这类事故中幸存下来。然而，认知缺陷常常导致智力、记忆力和抽象思维方面的弱点。这种弱点在轻度头部创伤的情况下也可能出现。这些认知缺陷会对青少年的学业、社交和家庭功能产生深远影响。
