20 The Influence of Brain Injury Severity, Anxiety, and Depression on Objective and Subjective Prospective Memory Problems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the majority of patients report difficulties with prospective memory (PM). However, there is not always a significant relationship between subjective and objective PM measures. Several variables may influence the degree of severity of perceived difficulties, including the severity of the injury and psychoemotional status. The aim of this study was to determine whether the severity of the TBI and anxiety and depressive symptoms were related to objective and subjective difficulties of PM. Participants and Methods: 50 patients (mean age = 31,3 years old) with a TBI (20 mild and 30 moderate/severe) in the post-acute phase of recovery and 15 matched healthy control participants (mean age = 32,3 years old) were recruited. They completed inventories assessing the presence of anxiety (BAI) and depressive (BDI) symptoms and performed the Ecological test of prospective memory (TEMP), an objective measure of PM. The Comprehensive Assessment of PM (CAPM), a subjective measure of PM, was also filled out by participants and their relatives. Results: In patients with moderate/severe TBI, significant correlations were found between the CAPM and the BDI (r =.601, p<.001) and the BAI (r =.507, p=.004). A negative correlation was also observed between the relatives’ CAPM scores and the performance of the patients on the TEMP (r= -.374, p=.042). In patients with mild TBI, there was only a strong significant correlation between the CAPM and the BAI scores (r =.574, p=.008). However, no other correlation was significant between this group of patients and their relatives. Additionally, results on the TEMP were not significantly correlated with the CAMP completed by healthy control participants or their relatives. A linear regression conducted in the group of participants with TBI showed that BAI and BDI scores are the only significant predictors of the results on the CAPM (31% of the variance), while TBI severity is the only significant predictor of the results on the TEMP (37% of the variance). Conclusions: The perception of PM difficulties in patients with a TBI does not seem to be related to their objective performance. Anxiety and depressive symptoms appear to influence their perception more than their objective performance. As suggested by their relatives, a decrease in self-awareness could explain the lack of relationship between subjective PM difficulties of patients with moderate/severe TBI and their objective performance. On the other hand, TBI severity is more strongly related to objective performance on PM tests. These results highlight the importance of using different measures to accurately assess PM and the various factors influencing this construct.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
