Abstract

Adults with a mild traumatic brain injury and a control group were asked to perform 2 speeded naming tasks under 2 conditions: with or without the presence of an auditory distraction. The MTBI group performed both tasks significantly slower and less accurate than the control group upon initial testing and at 30 days post injury. The presence of the distraction further influenced accuracy of complex processing. At 60 days post injury, accuracy of simple processing returned to pre-injury levels and the auditory distraction no longer differentially influenced the MTBI group. All performance differences were resolved at 6 months post injury.
