To examine the relationship between mild head injury and cognitive performance in preschool children over time.
Compared 78 children with mild head injury to 86 children with minor injuries.
Assessed cognitive performance through tests at multiple time points: immediately after injury, six months, and at 6.5 years.
Examined connections between visual closure scores and reading ability.
Children with mild head injury performed worse than controls on visual closure tests at six months and one year.
At 6.5 years, mild head injury children still scored lower in reading ability and required additional help.
Reading ability was linked to visual closure performance at one year.
