This study was to investigate the intelligence and memory disturbances of patients with traumatic brain injury. The subjects consisted of three following groups by its severity: the patients with mild traumatic brain injury(n=30); the patients with moderate traumatic brain injury(n=17); the patients with severe traumatic brain injury(n=67). The K-WAIS and the Rey-Kim Memory Test was administered and scored by manual and premorbid intelligence was estimated Kim(2000)'s method. The following results could be obtained. First, measured IQ of the severe traumatic brain injury group was significantly lower than that of mild brain injury group. Second, the differences between the premorbid IQ and the measured IQ of the severe traumatic brain injury group were significantly higher than those of the mild brain injury group. Third, the MQ of the severe group was lower than the MQ of the mild traumatic brain injury group. Finally, the clinical implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
