This study investigated the relationship between categorization tasks and neuropsychological measures in patients with traumatic brain injury enrolled in post acute rehabilitation. Subjects were administered all of the measures at the beginning of the study and at the end of the study twelve weeks later. Subjects were randomly assigned into two groups, an experimental group which received a systematic categorization training program and a control group. Results indicate that several of the neuropsychological tests and functional outcome measures correlated with the categorization tasks. The neuropsychological measures that correlated with most of the five categorization tasks included the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery Revised (WJ – III) Concept Formation subtest and Verbal Comprehension subtest, the California Verbal Learning Test – II (CVLT – II), the Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT), the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Trail Making Tests A and B, the Booklet Category Test and the Scales of Cognitive Ability for Traumatic Brain Injury (SCATBI) organization subtest. The results support the hypotheses stating that categorization abilities are highly related to other cognitive functions.
