The effect of age on baseline neurocognitive performance

CONCLUSIONS: Age was shown to be an independent modifier of impulse control, verbal memory, visual motor, and reaction time scores but not visual memory or symptom scores. This underscores the previous literature showing developmental differences as age increases among the adolescent athlete population. This data also indicates the need for repeat neurocognitive baseline testing every other year as baseline scoring is likely to change as athletes become older.PMID:38328998 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2307968
