註釋

Although more and more is known about the effects of head injuries on adult functioning, relatively little is known about the long-term effects of traumatic brain injuries on the subsequent development of children and adolescents. This is a much more complex endeavor, involving not only the effects of head injuries per se but also the interaction of head-injury effects and the process of development. In work with adults a certain level of baseline functioning can be assumed across many areas, including cognitive abilities, academic achievement, vocational success, psychosocial adjustment, and emotional stability. With children and adolescents, their functioning in all of these areas is a work in progress. Since traumatic brain injuries can impair the substrata from which developmental potential proceeds, that is, the integrity of brain functioning itself, injury effects in children and adolescents are likely to be more profound and more complex than in adults.
