Purpose/Goal

The purpose of the study was to examine whether the exaggerated NE (Novelty Effect) that has been observed in older adults who were ‘on the brink’ of exhibiting bona-fide cognitive decline can also represent a sub-clinical consequence of mTBI. To that end, a sample of individuals who had a distant history of mTBI were compared to those with no history of brain trauma. (Eastvold, Euler, & Suchy, 2014)

What tool was used?

A semi-structured interview was developed in the laboratory for this study. Additional assessments were used. Examples are: Delis Kaplan Executive Function System and the Behavioral Dyscontrol bScale-Electronic Version (BDS-EV) battery. (Eastvold, Euler, & Suchy, 2014)

When is screening done?

Participants were recruited via flyers or brief presentations describing the study. Participants were first screened for basic eligibility criteria. All subsequent study procedures took place at the offenders’ respective facilities. (Eastvold, Euler, & Suchy, 2014)
