Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The present study folds two objectives; such as, first objective was to investigate the effects of head injury on memory between the participants with head and without head injury and, second objective was to investigate the effect of head injury on immediate memory and delayed memory among participants with head injury. Total sample of the present study was comprised of fifty participants (Male=25 & Female=25). Participants with head injury were 25 and 25 were the participants without head injury. The age range of participants was between 20-40 years. The participants only with frontal head injury were included. The whole sample was collected from the different hospitals of the Faisalabad and Lahore, Pakistan. After taking brief demographics information of participants the selective scales of Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neurological State (RBANS; Randolph,1998) was administered on the respective sample. Data was scored and statistically analyzed by using SPSS, 12. Findings indicate there was significant difference between participants with head injury and participants without head injury on the scales of immediate memory and delayed memory (t=9.62, p< 0.05; t=11.90, p< 0.05 respectively). Further findings reported that participants with head injury perceived significant difference on the scales of immediate memory and delayed memory (t= 2.37, p < 0.05). Further implications and limitations were discussed.
