Περίληψη: Research on ImPACT Pediatric is limited. We reviewed pediatric baseline tests conducted over 6 years and compared scores from our athlete cohort (N = 230) with means in the testing manual (athlete status not specified). We also examined test stability over time (n = 48) and compared change scores with reliable change index thresholds in the testing manual. The athletic population had higher scores in six of the eight measured subtests. Visual Memory was correlated over time (rs [46] =.372, p =.009). Visual Memory and Rapid Processing were higher at Test 2 (z = 2.78, p =.005, r =.40; z = 2.53, p =.011, r =.37). Most scores fell within established reliable change index thresholds. Athletic trainers who work with athletes ages 6–11 should recognize potential differences in scores when reviewing baseline tests and possibly test ImPACT Pediatric baselines more frequently than ImPACT.
