description ABSTRACT. The aspects concerning memory from the point of view of clinical neuropsychology seem to be unclear. Almost every malfunction of the central nervous system (CNS) associated with problems in superior cognitive functions has also been associated with a type of memory impairment, this being a usual problem underlined by the patients (Reynolds, 2003; Fischer, 2004). In the cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI), memory impairments seem to be the most common among patients' problems (Mellick, 2004; Reynolds, 2005). This research emphasizes several aspects concerning the assessment of memory functionality in the case of children that suffer cerebral traumatic injuries, by using the assessment tool TOMAL – Test of Memory and Learning. It also underlines the way children's cognitive abilities change due to the traumatic injury.
