ABSTRACT

Head injuries may cause traumatic brain injury(TBI)and chronic traumatic encephalopathy(CTE),leading to disfunction in memory.In this research,I tested short-term memory within two groups of male students around the age of 17 and 18 to see whether there’s difference for those who experienced hit to the head during basketball game.I sent out questionnaires and gave the subjects memory tests to collect data.I found that there is an obvious decrease in the student’s test score after being hit in sport.
