Zusammenfassung:Reports an error in the original article by S. C. Johnson et al ( Neuropsychology, 1994[July], Vol 8[3], 301–315). On page 309, Figure 2 was printed upside down. Figures are provided in the correct position. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1994-38110-001.) Examined the role in traumatic brain injury (TBI) of injury severity measured by the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), white matter atrophy identified by various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) morphometric techniques, and postinjury intellectual functioning measured with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised (WAIS—R). MR images of 31 female and 33 male TBI patients were used to calculate corpus callosum (CC) areas, ventricular volumes (estimates of white matter loss), and parenchymal volumes. Results indicated that the men were on the average more severely injured, as indicated by significantly lower GCS scores. CC size correlated significantly with the ventricle-to-brain ratio (VBR), but no significant correlations were found between CC size and WAIS—R scores. Significant correlations were found for men only between VBR and Performance IQ and between VBR and the Digit Symbol subtest of the WAIS—R. Implications for the roles of white matter atrophy and intellectual functioning in TBI are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
