Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective This study investigated the performance on, and correlates of, the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test – Revised (BVMT–R) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Participants included 100 patients with TBI and 100 demographically matched controls. We first used regression analysis to determine predictors of BVMT–R performance in the clinical group. We then used analysis of variance as well as logistic regression to determine how BVMT–R findings differed between the clinical and control groups. Results Injury severity and visuospatial ability both contributed to the prediction of BVMT–R Total Recall and Delayed Recall scores in the TBI group. Mean differences between the TBI and control groups on these variables were statistically significant, but overall individual classification accuracy was limited at 59%. Conclusions The BVMT–R has some clinical utility in the evaluation of patients with TBI but should not be used in isolation.
