Objective: Evaluate validity of a novel test of working memory and inhibitory control for children with concussion.
Design: Clinical versus matched control group repeated measures.
Setting: Clinical participants were seen in the CNMC Safe Concussion Outcome Recovery and Education (SCORE) clinic in Washington DC. Controls were recruited from the eastern USA.
Participants: 25 boys, 10 girls aged 9–18 years with concussion matched by age, sex and race/ethnicity to typically developing children.
Intervention: Participants completed two alternative forms serially (median days from injury: time 1 = 10.0; time 2 = 17.0) of a visual task parametrically combining an N-back paradigm (0, 1, 2-back) to assess working memory with a go/no-go paradigm to assess inhibitory
