Mild TBI Following Exposure to Explosive Devices: Device Characteristics, Neuropsychological Functioning, and Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of PTSD, depression, and mild TBI on cognitive effort during neuropsychological testing, and to address whether standard cutoff scores should apply for interpretation on the TOMM. Frequency tables showed 90.3% of veterans obtained a score greater than the recommended cutoff on the second trial, including 84% with a perfect score of 50. Three subjects' results were highly suggestive of poor effort on both the TOMM and a recognition memory task.
