To investigate the automatic versus effortful distinction following severe closed head injury (CHI), we administered free recall and frequency of occurrence tasks to patients and controls. In Experiment 1 we found that both free recall (an effortful task) and judgment of relative frequency of occurrence (an automatic task) were impaired in 15 CHI patients as compared to 14 controls. In Experiment 2 we corroborated this finding and showed that absolute estimates of frequency were also impaired in new samples of 16 patients and 16 controls. We infer that cognitive tasks which normal individuals can perform without practice, feedback, or instructions may demand more effortful strategies following severe CHI.
