This study was to investigate the intelligence and memory disturbances of patients with traumatic brain injury. The subject groups consisted of following: the patients with traumatic brain injury with focal lesion in brain imaging study(n=20); the patients with traumatic brain injury without focal lesion(n=20); and the patients with neurotic disorders(n=20). The K-WAIS and the WMS was administered and scored by manual and estimated premorbid intelligence based on Barona Index and vocabulary subscale of K-WAIS. The following results could be obtained. First, there were significant differences between the premorbid IQ by Barona Index and the current IQ in traumatic brain injured groups. Second, there were significant differences between the premorbid IQ by vocabulary subscale and the current IQ in non-focal lesion group and neurotic group. Third, there was no significant difference in VIQ-PIQ between groups. Fourth, there were significant differences in the all subscales except for orientation and MQ of the WMS between brain injured groups and neurotic group. Fifth, there were significant differences in FSIQ-MQ between brain injured groups and neurotic group. Finally, the clinical implication and limitation of this study were discussed.
