Cognitive and physical symptoms of concussive injury in children: a detailed longitudinal recovery study.

Background: Recovery from concussion sustained in childhood and adolescence is poorly understood. We explored patterns of recovery for neurocognition and postconcussive symptoms following concussion in children and adolescents.

Methods: Using a prospective, longitudinal design, we collected baseline data on 728 children and adolescents aged 10-17 years.

Developmental Trajectory of Information-Processing Skills in Children: Computer-Based Assessment.

There are significant merits to a comprehensive cognitive assessment, but they are also time-consuming, costly, and susceptible to practice effects and may not detect change in the context of medical interventions or minor brain disruptions. Brief computer-based assessments focused on "fluid" cognitive domains (e.g.
