The participants consisted of 46 control(mean age 38.83, mean education 11.55), 41 alcoholism group(mean age 36.94, mean education 10.69), and 41 brain damage group(mean age 36.73, mean education 10.00). TMT-B and KWIS subtests were administered. The result of this study was difference of performance time was significantly founded among group. The education was not correlated with performance time, but age and intelligence was significant correlated with performance time. In other words, the study show that severity of impairment, demographic data of age and intelligence correlated with TMT-B performance. This study suggested that the Trail Making Test was useful for assessment brain damage level.
