Abstract

The article focuses on the validity of memory performance in youth athletes as assessed by the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM). It reports that youth football players show significantly lower TOMM Trial 1 scores compared to non-football players, indicating a higher risk of suboptimal or invalid baseline test performance. No significant differences were found for youth athletes in soccer, baseball, or basketball. The findings suggest that youth football players may require additional attention during baseline cognitive testing to ensure accurate assessment and safer return-to-play decisions, alongside education on concussion effects and test validity.
