Abstract Details

This study sought to examine how effectively concussed college athletes are able to predict the effects of their concussion on their neuropsychological testing performance. Performance prediction tasks are often used to assess an individual‟s level of self-awareness, an area of deficit that has commonly been noted following more severe forms of traumatic brain injury. Little research has been conducted on the effects of sports-related concussion on an athlete‟s self-awareness. Surveys were administered to athletes before and after neuropsychological testing to assess an athlete‟s awareness of any deficits since their concussion and whether the athlete expected their concussion to affect their testing performance. Results indicate that athlete report of symptoms is most likely not a good indicator of when an athlete can be safely returned to play following a concussion due to inconsistent report of symptoms and the possible presence of impaired self-awareness or denial.
