Abstract
Recent hypotheses have renewed discussion on the mechanisms linking executi ve functions and working memory in patients with traumatic brain injury. In this context, we studied the control and suppression functions of inhibiti on processes. Results obtained with a suppression paradigm showed that the traumatic brain injury patient makes a number of suppression errors and tha t suppression responses imply an important temporal loss in this population .
