Compared with demographically matched neurologically healthy controls, selected from the WISC\u2013V standardization sample, participants with TBI demonstrated statistically significantly lower scores across WISC\u2013V indices. The working memory, processing speed, and cognitive proficiency indices also demonstrated statistically significant negative correlations with brain injury severity based on time to follow commands.
