Academic skills after brain injury: A lifespan perspective.
Alyssa W SullivanMark D BowrenJoel E BrussDaniel TranelÖ Ece Demir-LiraPublished in: Neuropsychology (2022)
This study supports age of lesion onset as a relevant predictor of academic skills after brain injury in a lifespan sample. Several other variables (e.g., education, sex, lesion characteristics, and seizure history) are notable in the prediction of outcomes across the lifespan. Future work could investigate more diverse samples and emphasize recruitment of early onset injuries to examine generalizability and potential critical periods for academic skills.
