Paper doi abstract bibtex Purpose/Objective: Deficits in executive functions are prevalent among children with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Assessing cognitive impairment is critical for evaluating and monitoring recovery. The present article reports a pilot study to evaluate the preliminary usability and validity of a virtual reality cognitive assessment tool (VR-CAT) specifically designed for children with TBI. Research Method/Design: A total of 54 children, 24 with TBI and 30 with orthopedic injury, participated in a cross-sectional cohort study at a Level-1 trauma center. The VR-CAT was evaluated in terms of user experience as well as preliminary psychometric properties including test–retest reliability, face validity, concurrent validity with two standard executive function assessment tools, and utility in distinguishing the TBI and orthopedic injury groups. Results: Children in both groups reported high levels of usability (i.e., enjoyment and motivation). The VR-CAT composite and scores on tests of inhibitory control and working memory demonstrated modest test–retest reliability across two independent assessment visits, as well as acceptable face validity, modest concurrent validity, and clinical utility. Conclusions/Implications: The present study is among the first to evaluate the applicability of an immersive VR-CAT in children with TBI. The findings support high usability, adequate psychometric properties, and satisfactory clinical utility of the VR-CAT, suggesting it is a promising tool for assessing executive functions in this vulnerable population.
