Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. Information processing speed (IPS) is a central
construct of neuropsychology and a mediator for a range of cognitive functions. In adults, the negative effects of TBI on IPS are well documented.
This review qualitatively describes the impact of TBI on IPS in children and adolescents and examines various influencing factors. We included
a total of 37 studies in the review that explored IPS using various clinical assessments. These clinical assessments often examine other
neuropsychological functions besides IPS. In 29 of these studies, we found a negative effect of TBI on IPS. While injury severity has small but
consistent effects on IPS, the effects of age at injury, time since injury, and gender were less evident. Because it is a central construct of neuropsychological
functions, IPS should be assessed after TBI.
