A-92 Assessing Perceived Workload on the Brief Visual Memory Test in Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors

Abstract Objective We examined perceived workload as it is related to Brief Visual Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) short-delay and long-delay performance in traumatic brain injury (TBI) healthy comparison (HC) participants. Method The sample consisted of 39 TBI participants 54 HC Demographically corrected BVMT-R scores were used evaluate performances. was measured using the NASA-TLX. Results ANOVA revealed that group outperformed on score, p < 05, ? 2 = 0.05. ANCOVAs controlling for age NASA-TLX differences. In regards NASA-TLX, reported higher levels physical demand, effort, frustration overall subjective compared participants, 0.01–0.09. Furthermore, BVMT-R, temporal group, 0.05, 0.05–0.14. Conclusions demonstrated worse performances than However, survivors demands both BVMT-R. Our findings suggest impacts non-verbal memory long-delay. Also, may be impacting survivors’ awareness their performance. Further work required determine what drives impaired perception among survivors.
