Abstract

Little is known about the differential display of executive functions in intellectually gifted/ADHD children, although this may be relevant to identify the dual condition better. This study aimed to examine the executive function behaviors of intellectually gifted/ADHD youth, as reported by their parents using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF), and to compare them with those of youth who were intellectually gifted only and those with ADHD only. Based on a cognitive assessment, a clinical sample of 110 participants (Mage = 10.13; SD = 2.59), aged six to 16, was drawn from attendees of two psychological clinics and divided into three groups: intellectually gifted/ADHD (n = 40), ADHD (n = 40) and intellectually gifted (n = 30). The results revealed that, in general, intellectually gifted/ADHD youth presented more alterations in executive function behaviors, particularly in the BRIEF metacognitive index, than intellectually gifted and ADHD youth, as reported by their parents. Furthermore, mothers rated executive function difficulties more severely on the BRIEF rating scale across all groups than fathers. These findings highlight the clinical utility of the BRIEF, particularly its Organization of Materials, Monitor, and Working Memory subscales, in detecting the co-occurrence of intellectual giftedness and ADHD in children with good sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, they support existing evidence of executive vulnerabilities in intellectually gifted/ADHD children and underscore the importance of supporting their executive function-related behaviors.

与资优儿童和ADHD儿童相比,资优儿童/ADHD儿童的执行功能行为:执行功能行为评定量表(BRIEF)的临床应用
虽然这可能与更好地识别双重条件有关,但对于智力天才/多动症儿童执行功能的差异表现知之甚少。本研究旨在利用执行功能行为评定量表(behavioral Rating Inventory of executive function,简称BRIEF)对资优/ADHD青少年的执行功能行为进行调查,并与资优/ADHD青少年的执行功能行为进行比较。基于认知评估,从两家心理诊所的参与者中抽取了110名临床样本(Mage = 10.13; SD = 2.59),年龄在6至16岁之间,分为三组:智力超常/多动症(n = 40),多动症(n = 40)和智力超常(n = 30)。结果显示,一般来说,与父母报告的智力超常/ADHD青少年相比,智力超常/ADHD青少年在执行功能行为方面表现出更多的变化,特别是在BRIEF元认知指数方面。此外,在所有小组中,母亲对执行功能障碍的评估比父亲更严重。这些发现突出了BRIEF的临床应用,特别是它的材料组织、监测和工作记忆亚量表,在检测儿童智力天赋和多动症的共同发生方面具有良好的敏感性和特异性。此外,他们支持现有的证据,即智力天才/多动症儿童的执行脆弱性,并强调支持他们的执行功能相关行为的重要性。

期刊介绍: The purposes of Child Neuropsychology are to: publish research on the neuropsychological effects of disorders which affect brain functioning in children and adolescents, publish research on the neuropsychological dimensions of development in childhood and adolescence and promote the integration of theory, method and research findings in child/developmental neuropsychology. The primary emphasis of Child Neuropsychology is to publish original empirical research. Theoretical and methodological papers and theoretically relevant case studies are welcome. Critical reviews of topics pertinent to child/developmental neuropsychology are encouraged. Emphases of interest include the following: information processing mechanisms; the impact of injury or disease on neuropsychological functioning; behavioral cognitive and pharmacological approaches to treatment/intervention; psychosocial correlates of neuropsychological dysfunction; definitive normative, reliability, and validity studies of psychometric and other procedures used in the neuropsychological assessment of children and adolescents. Articles on both normal and dysfunctional development that are relevant to the aforementioned dimensions are welcome. Multiple approaches (e.g., basic, applied, clinical) and multiple methodologies (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, experimental, multivariate, correlational) are appropriate. Books, media, and software reviews will be published.
