Abstract

This article focuses on the relationship between executive functioning (EF) and autobiographical memory accuracy in adults with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) compared to healthy controls. The study assessed EF through standardized neuropsychological tasks and measured recall, prediction, and recognition of central and trivial actions in common autobiographical events. Results showed that while controls outperformed sTBI adults on EF measures and recall of central actions, both groups demonstrated similar abilities in predicting and recognizing autobiographical events. EF significantly predicted memory accuracy in both groups, suggesting that despite executive dysfunction, adults with sTBI retain considerable knowledge of common events. The findings support the potential for therapies that gradually integrate novel events into memory rehabilitation.
