Objective
[edit | edit source]
The Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT) is an instrument originally created by Levin, O’Donnel, and Grossman and first published in 1979. It was developed to evaluate cognition serially during the subacute stage of recovery from closed head injury (CHI). This practical scale measures orientation to person, place, and time, and memory for events preceding and following the injury. The GOAT assesses post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) and retrograde amnesia (RA) in patients who have had a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The GOAT is designed to be a practical, reliable scale that can be used at the bedside or in the emergency room by health service providers of various disciplines. It is important in determining outcome and prognosis.
