Patients with TBI and HC subjects were equated on initial acquisition on a verbal list-learning task.Recall and recognition performance was then avluated at 30- and 90-minutes after learning. All HC subjects 20 subjects with TBI (TBI-MET) were able to meet the learning criterion, but the RBI-MET group took significantly more trials than HC subjects to do so. Howerver after equating groups on acquisition, the TBI-MET group did not differ from controls on recall and recognition ar bothe the 30- and 90-minutes delays. Eight TBI subjects showed severe learning deficits (TBI-NOT MET) because they never learned the task, and showed significantly impaired recall and recognition performance. The 2 TBI groups did not differ on measures of severity of injury , but the TBI-NOT MET group performed significantly below the TBI-MET group on executive functioning. Rate of forgetting did not differ across the 3 groups.
