“…Research has shown that adults in the chronic phase of TBI demonstrated impaired selective attention abilities on the TEA map search and telephone search subtests [3,14]. Similarly, participants with TBI (2–69 months post-injury) demonstrated impaired performance on the Paced Cancellation Task and Ruff 2 and 7 compared to controls [3,15], suggesting deficits in selective attention both within the first year of recovery and extending into the chronic phase of TBI.…”

“…The amount of distractors in each trial was either two or eight. Based on prior literature [3,15,14], we expected that the participants with TBI would be slower to search the visual displays in the visual search condition compared to controls. We were especially interested in whether participants with TBI would be able to make use of the location cues and effectively ignore distracting stimuli in the focused attention condition (i.e.…”

Primary Objective: Impairments in attention following traumatic brain injury (TBI) can significantly impact recovery and rehabilitation effectiveness. This study investigated the multi-faceted construct of selective attention following TBI, highlighting the differences on visual nonsearch (focused attention) and search (divided attention) tasks. Methods and Procedures: Participants were 30 individuals with moderate to severe TBI who were tested acutely (i.e. following emergence from PTA) and 30 age and education matched controls. Participants were presented with visual displays that contained either two or eight items. In the focused attention, nonsearch condition, the location of the target (if present) was cued with a peripheral arrow prior to presentation of the visual displays. In the divided attention, search condition, no spatial cue was provided prior to presentation of the visual displays. Main Outcomes and Results: The results revealed intact focused, nonsearch, attention abilities in the acute phase of TBI recovery. In contrast, when no spatial cue was provided (divided attention condition), participants with TBI demonstrated slower visual search compared to the control group. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that capitalizing on intact focused attention abilities by allocating attention during cognitively demanding tasks may help to reduce mental workload and improve rehabilitation effectiveness.

“…However, these differences were not statistically significant either. Michael et al (2014) compared the neuropsychological test performance of 18 subjects who had suffered a traumatic brain injury and 21 subjects diagnosed with schizophrenia, alongside a healthy control group of 31 individuals with no history of neurological or psychiatric illness. The Cancellation Test was administered to the participants.…”

This study aims to evaluate the risk of traumatic brain injury by comparing data obtained from elite active boxers and healthy individuals through the application of the Symbol Digit Modalities Test and the Trail Making Test, which are sensitive to brain damage, as well as the Verbal and Nonverbal Cancellation Test, which is sensitive to the right parietal lobe. The study is conducted with eight male boxers with an average age of 19.3±2.60 years, who had an average of 7.25±3.41 years of active boxing experience, and ten healthy males with an average age of 19.7±1.05 years, who had no involvement in any combat sport. Participants were administered three Symbol Digit Modalities Tests and two Trail Making Tests, along with the Verbal and Nonverbal Cancellation Test, across intervals of one day of rest. For the analysis, the significance level was accepted as p

“…Patients with TBI present a poor performance for these tasks compared to the healthy controls, specifically, slower reaction times and increased attentional lapses and response variability [11][12][13]. Manifestations of selective attention dysfunctions are also demonstrated in some TBI patients, including a slow processing speed, immediate attentional overload, decreased efficiency in target processing, difficulty detecting targets among distractors, and an inability to shift response strategies [14]. TBI patients also exhibit deficits in more complex attention functions, such as divided and switching attention, which both rely on other higher-order prefrontal functions, including working memory and executive control.…”

Early detection is crucial for addressing attention deficits commonly associated with Traumatic brain injury (TBI), informing effective rehabilitation planning and intervention. While traditional neuropsychological assessments have been conventionally used to evaluate attention deficits, their limited ecological validity presents notable challenges. This study explores the efficacy and validity of a novel virtual reality test, the Computerized Battery for the Assessment of Attention Disorders (CBAAD), among a cohort of TBI survivors (n = 20), in comparison to a healthy control group (n = 20). Participants, ranging in age from 21 to 62 years, were administered a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, including the CBAAD and the Attention Related Cognitive Errors Scale. While variations in attentional performance were observed across age cohorts, the study found no statistically significant age-related effects within either group. The CBAAD demonstrated sensitivity to attentional dysfunction in the TBI group, establishing its value as a comprehensive test battery for assessing attention in this specific population. Regression analyses demonstrated the CBAAD’s effectiveness in predicting real-life attentional errors reported by TBI patients. In summary, the CBAAD demonstrates sensitivity to attentional dysfunction in TBI patients and the ability to predict real-world attentional errors, establishing its value as a comprehensive test battery for assessing attention in this specific population. Its implementation holds promise for enhancing the early identification of attentional impairments and facilitating tailored rehabilitation strategies for TBI patients.
