Abstract

Studies of specific social skill deficits in adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) have begun to appear [1,2], but there are few empirical studies of children with TBI. This study examined social problem-solving skills in boys and girls with TBI and a matched group of non-injured peers, ages 7-13. The TBI group generated fewer total solutions on a social problem-solving measure, largely reflecting situation-specific differences in generated solutions. The TBI group also generated fewer positive assertive, and more indirect responses to peer group entry situations than the comparison group. Implications are discussed for a model of social information processing in paediatric brain injury.
