The aim of this work was to compare the performance of children, both genders and aged between 7-12 years, with and without complaints of difficulties in attention/ learning in tests of attention and executive functions. We used the following instruments: Stroop Color Word Test, Trail Making Test A/B, Tests of Cancellation and Tower of London. The results were organized according to gender, frequency distribution of symptoms and characteristics of performance. Significant differences between groups in scores on tests were obtained. The group lodged complaints with scores of time and errors increased as compared to group without complaints. In the case of TOL, score of the group without complaints scores were higher.
