title: Visual recognition memory of severely head-injured patients.
abstract: 14 severely head-injured adults were compared with 14 normals on a recognition procedure, Kimura's Recurring Figures Test, which requires identification of eight recurring shapes among a series of 160. The head-injured patients showed, by far, more incorrect responses than the control group.
