Attentional-inhibitory control and social-behavioral regulation are two outcome domains commonly impaired after childhood closed head injury (CHI). We compared neuropsychological tests of attentional-inhibitory control (vigilance, selective attention, response modulation) and social discourse and intentionality (inferencing, figurative language, and speech acts) with parent ratings of attention and behavioral regulation in relation to four injury-related variables: age at CHI, time since CHI, CHI injury severity, and frontal lobe injury moderated by CHI severity. Participants were 105 school-aged children in the chronic stage of CHI, divided into mild, moderate, and severe injury severity groups, and further subdivided according to frontal lobe injury. Outcome indices were imperfectly correlated in the group as a whole, although several relations between neurocognitive tests and parent ratings were observed within CHI subgroups. Different domains of cognitive function had different predictors. For attentional-inhibitory control, age at injury and time since injury were most predictive of outcome; for social discourse, predictors were injury severity and frontal lobe injury moderated by injury severity. Variability in cognitive outcome after childhood CHI is not random, but appear, related to age, time, and biological features of the injury.
