GCS, Glasgow Coma Scale (Teasdale and Jennett, 1974; <8 = severe TBI); TPI, Time Post Injury; PTA, Post Traumatic Amnesia (Mean days); NA, not available; Simple, temporal task alone; Control counting, count aloud for the stimulus duration; Concurrent reading, temporal task + non-temporal task.
References to neuropsychological tasks are not reported because the authors referred to different versions of the tasks; please refer to the specific articles for the appropriate references.
Analyses were conducted on RATIO.
Analyses were conducted between TBI patients (oriented and disoriented TBI together) and controls.
Analyses were conducted on RATIO as reported in the original paper.
Analyses were conducted on proportion of correct responses.
