SOUZA, Glaucia Gabriela Bagattini de; SIMAO, Adriana Nobre de Paula; LIMA, Ricardo Franco de  e  CIASCA, Sylvia Maria. Cognitive performance of children and youth with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Aletheia [online]. 2011, n.35-36, pp.69-78. ISSN 1413-0394.

This article aims to analyze and describe the results of cognitive performance of children and young people diagnosed with different subtypes of Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity (ADHD) in Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III). We analyzed data from 24 records of children and young people between 06 and 14 years, both sexes, attending elementary school, who were diagnosed with ADHD. The results showed that the performance of the combined subtype group was better than combined subtype group in all IQs and factor indexes evaluated, albeit with significant differences only in relation to verbal IQ, total IQ, verbal comprehension Index and Resistance to Distraction Index.

Palavras-chave : Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity; Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children; Intellectual functioning.
