ABSTRACT
Separate computation of the Spearman correlations for the patients who sustained mild to moderate head injury disclosed generally nonsignificant results with the exception of the Communication Domain for which correlations with Factors 1-3 were significant, but low. In contrast, correlations for the severely injured children were consistently significant, ranging from 0.27 to 0.54. For the 3-month data, Spearman correlation coefficients were generally nonsignificant with the exception of Factor 4 (Declarative Memory) with Adaptive Behavior Composite (r == .44,p < .0001), Communication (r == 0.41,p < .0001), Socialization (r == 0.33,p < .002), and Daily Living (r == 0.29, p < .001). Corresponding correlations for the mild to moderately injured children were nonsignificant with the exception of the correlations between Factor 4 (Declarative Memory) and the Adaptive Behavior (r == 0.32, p < .009), and Communication (r == 0.37, p < .002). For the children with severe head injury, significant correlations of the 3-month data were also confined to Factor 4 (Declarative Memory) with Adaptive Behavior (r == 0.50, p < .02) and Communication (r == 0.42, p < .04).
