TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Attentional control 10 years post childhood traumatic brain injury: The impact of lesion presence, location and severity in adolescence and early adulthood JO - Journal of neurotrauma A1 - Cooper, Janine Michelle A1 - Catroppa, Cathy A1 - Beauchamp, Miriam Helen A1 - Eren, Serem A1 - Godfrey, Celia A1 - Ditchfield, Michael A1 - Anderson, Vicki Anne SP - 713 EP - 721 VL - 31 IS - 8 N2 - The relationship between brain injury and attentional control (AC) long after a childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) has received limited investigation. The aim of this paper was to investigate the impact that lesion presence, location and severity has on AC in a group of young people that had sustained a moderate to severe TBI 10 years earlier during childhood. Standardised testing suggests that AC develops well whereas behavioural measures demonstrate problems with self monitoring in late adolescence. The results suggest there is a network of brain regions associated with AC and generalised lesions have the greatest influence on such abilities.
