The fact that previous research shows an impairment in social competence following traumatic brain injury (TBI) alludes to a potential relationship between TBI and ToM. Although the relationship between paediatric TBI (pTBI) and ToM ability is relatively unexplored, especially within a South African context, previous research on TBI and ToM suggests social impairment following TBI. The current research project was aimed to investigate exactly that. The study reported here investigated this relationship, and specifically focused on the effects of pTBI on ToM ability in 9-15 year old children. 2015-04-02T14:15:34Z 2015-04-02T14:15:34Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12656 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
