Objective: To measure working memory capacity among a cohort of collegiate athletes and to compare results between athletes competing in head-contact-prone sports with those not subject to repeated head contacts. A secondary objective was to determine the effect of sport-related concussion on working memory capacity. Design: Ambidirectional cohort study. Setting: Athletics department at an American university. Participants: Student athletes competing in various sports. Interventions: None. Main…

Working Memory in Collegiate Athletes and Non-Athletes: A Comparison of Team-Sports Athletes, Solo-Sports Athletes, Frequent Exercisers and Infrequent Exercisers
Past research suggests that exercise is associated with improved working memory (WM) abilities, and that athletes have better executive functioning and WM skills than nonathletes. However, no studies…
Differences in Spatial Working Memory as a Function of Team Sports Expertise: The Corsi Block-Tapping Task in Sport Psychological Assessment
TLDR
Individual differences in visuospatial abilities were investigated in experienced basketball players compared with nonathletes and no differences in spatial capacity were evident between basketball players and nonathlete college students.
Baseline evaluation in youth ice hockey players: comparing methods for documenting prior concussions and attention or learning disorders.
TLDR
Examining differences in concussion history and attention or learning disorders reported by elite youth ice hockey players, using a questionnaire that allows parental input compared to a clinic-based test battery that does not found substantial disagreement between instruments for those reporting learning disorders.
Neurological Assessment and Its Relationship to CSF Biomarkers in Amateur Boxers
TLDR
This is the first study showing traumatic axonal brain injury can be present without measureable cognitive impairment, and boxers with persisting NFL concentration elevation after at least 14 days resting time post bout had a significantly poorer performance on Trail Making A and Simple Reaction Time compared to other boxers.
Clinical utility of ImPACT assessment for postconcussion return-to-play counseling: Psychometric issues
TLDR
The empirical evidence does not support the use of ImPACT testing for determining the time of postconcussion return to play, and the evidence for the clinical utility of this program is reviewed.
The Relationship between Students' Working Memory Capacity and Mathematical Performance at Secondary School Level.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship among Working Memory Capacity (WMC) and Mathematical Performance (MP) of a sample of Pakistani students. A quantitative research approach was…
Differences in the neurocognitive profiles of professional and semi-professional male South African rugby union players
This study investigated possible cognitive functioning profile differences between professional and semi-professional rugby players. Seventy-nine male rugby union players (professional = 55,…
Vision Testing in the Evaluation of Concussion
TLDR
Concussion generally occurs out of the medical setting, and access to a trained examiner or equipment to assist in diagnosis is limited, for this reason, much research is focused on developing a concussion test that is practical and reliable.
Pathophysiology of Mild TBI: Implications for Altered Signaling Pathways
TLDR
The review in this chapter focuses on two understudied components of the pathophysiology of mild TBI—the role of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway in axonal injury, and therole of the dopaminergic system in working memory deficits.
The Effects of Sleep Duration on Predictive Factors of Mathematical Performance
TLDR
Students with 7-8 hours of sleep duration had better performance in mathematical activity and math score and some non-significant differences between predictive factors of mathematical performance and sleep duration were found.

The Role of Concussion History and Gender in Recovery from Soccer-Related Concussion
TLDR
A history of concussion and gender may account for significant differences in postconcussive neurocognitive test scores in soccer players and may play a role in determining recovery.
Relationship between concussion and neuropsychological performance in college football players.
TLDR
It is suggested that neuropsychological assessment is a useful indicator of cognitive functioning in athletes and that both history of multiple concussions and learning disability are associated with reduced cognitive performance.
No cumulative effects for one or two previous concussions
TLDR
There was no measurable effect of one or two previous concussions on athletes’ preseason neuropsychological test performance or symptom reporting and the cumulative effect was very small and undetectable using this methodology.
A prospective functional MR imaging study of mild traumatic brain injury in college football players.
TLDR
Differences in neural functioning were observed in the absence of observed deficits in behavioral performance, suggesting that this approach may increase sensitivity to concussion compared with neuropsychological evaluation alone.
SEX DIFFERENCES IN NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTION AND POST‐CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS OF CONCUSSED COLLEGIATE ATHLETES
TLDR
College athletes exhibit differences on visual memory composite scores and symptoms post-concussion as a function of sex, which support the importance of evaluating neuropsychological status and post- Concussion symptoms in concussed athletes.
Association between Recurrent Concussion and Late-Life Cognitive Impairment in Retired Professional Football Players
TLDR
The findings suggest that the onset of dementia-related syndromes may be initiated by repetitive cerebral concussions in professionalFootball players, and an earlier onset of Alzheimer's disease in the retirees than in the general American male population.
Differences in Spatial Working Memory as a Function of Team Sports Expertise: The Corsi Block-Tapping Task in Sport Psychological Assessment
TLDR
Individual differences in visuospatial abilities were investigated in experienced basketball players compared with nonathletes and no differences in spatial capacity were evident between basketball players and nonathlete college students.

A validation of the post concussion symptom scale in the assessment of complex concussion using cognitive testing and functional MRI
TLDR
The results support the use of the PCS scale in the assessment of cerebral concussion and in monitoring recovery and indicate an inverse relationship between PCS scores and performances on several CogSport subtests.
Sport-Related Concussion
TLDR
Proper assessment and management of a sport-related concussion is crucial, because repeat concussions can result in decreased neurocognitive functioning, increased symptomatology, and, at times, catastrophic outcomes.
