“…Por ejemplo, Thaler et al (2012) pusieron de relieve que el perfil cognitivo caracterizado por puntuaciones medias en ICV, IRP e IMT y reducidas en IVP, estaba asociado a una presencia más alta de síntomas de inatención y aparecía en una mayor proporción en sujetos diagnosticados con TDAH-inatento. Solanto et al (2007) mostraron que, según el WISC-III, el grupo TDAH-combinado obtuvo peores puntuaciones en memoria de trabajo visuoespacial que el grupo TDAH-inatento, mientras que este úl-timo obtuvo peores puntuaciones en velocidad de procesamiento.…”

“…En general, los estudios llevados a cabo hasta la fecha han proporcionado evidencias empíricas de que los sujetos con TDAH-inatento muestran un rendimiento más bajo en el IVP que los TDAH-combinado (Calhoun y Mayes, 2005;Mayes, Calhoun, Chase, Mink, y Stagg, 2009;Thaler et al, 2012). Chhabildas, Pennington y Willcutt (2001) llegaron a la conclusión de que una puntuación más baja en el IVP guardaba relación con la sintomatología de la desatención, independientemente de la presencia de sintomatología de la hiperactividad/ impulsividad, mientras que este bajo rendimiento en cuanto al IVP no se daba en el grupo TDAH-hiperactivo.…”

“…Existe consenso en considerar que el establecimiento de un perfil cognitivo en niños/as con TDAH por medio del WISC-IV puede ayudar al proceso de diagnóstico e indicar las fortalezas y debilidades específicas del trastorno (Yang et al, 2013), y podría convertirse en un instrumento de prognosis y predicción de la severidad de los sín-tomas (Thaler et al, 2012).…”

ResumenEl presente estudio explora si se puede obtener un perfil cognitivo específico para niños/as con TDAH a partir de la Escala de Inteligencia Wechsler para Niños Cuarta Edición (WISC-IV), y si ese perfil es capaz de diferenciar entre los subtipos clínicos de TDAH. Se seleccionó un grupo de control de 47 niños/as y otro grupo clínico de 86 niños/as diagnosticados/as con TDAH, éste último dividido a su vez en dos subgrupos de acuerdo a sus características clínicas. El grupo clínico se caracterizó por una puntuación ICG>ICC respecto al grupo de control. Los subgrupos clínicos no obtuvieron puntuaciones significativamente diferentes en ninguno de los índices, pero sí lo hicieron respecto a la distancia entre el Índice de Memoria de Trabajo y el Índice de Velocidad de Procesamiento. Para el subgrupo TDAH predominantemente inatento esta distancia fue positiva, mientras que para el subgrupo TDAH-combinado fue negativa. Estos resultados aportan evidencia empírica a la hipótesis de la existencia de un perfil cognitivo específico del TDAH, con potencial para discriminar entre subtipos clínicos de TDAH.Palabras clave: TDAH, WISC-IV, patrón cognitivo específico, memoria de trabajo y velocidad de procesamiento. AbstractThis study explores whether a specific cognitive profile for children with ADHD can be obtained through the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) and whether this profile is capable of differentiating between ADHD clinical subtypes. A control group of 47 children was selected, together with a clinical group of 86 children diagnosed with ADHD and divided into 2 subgroups, according to their clinical characteristics. The clinical group was characterized by a GAI > CPI with respect to the control group. The clinical subgroups did not score significantly lower in any index, but they did in the difference between the working memory index and the processing speed index. For those diagnosed with inattentive ADHD, this distance was positive; for those diagnosed with ADHD combined group, it was negative. These findings contribute empirical evidence to the hypothesis that there is a characteristic ADHD cognitive profile, with a potential ability of differentiating between ADHD clinical subtypes.

“…Application of WISC in ADHD also confirms that it reliably differentiates between ADHD patients and healthy controls [11,12]. Moreover, it can provide knowledge about specific cognitive strengths and weaknesses in ADHD [13][14][15][16][17], used in designing therapeutic and educational interventions, and employed as diagnostic marker in ADHD children [13,[18][19][20]. However, the cognitive strengths and weaknesses of ADHD subtypes are not adequately explores in the previous studies in ADHD while several neuropsychological distinctions in ADHD subtypes (especially ADHD-I vs ADHD-C) have been identified [21].…”

Background : Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a major neurodevelopmental disorder with heterogeneous symptoms, subtypes and cognitive deficits. Cognitive deficits are central to ADHD pathophysiology and one potential source of heterogeneity in ADHD. Subtype-specific cognitive correlates are not, however, well-studied. We explored cognitive correlates of ADHD subtypes based on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV) scores. We also assessed subtype-specific self-esteem ratings and its association with subtype-specific cognitive correlates.Methods : 139 ADHD children (80.6% boy, 19.4% girl) were categorized into the predominantly "hyperactive (ADHD-H)", "inattentive (ADHD-I)" and "combined (ADHD-C)" subtype based on their symptoms and scores on the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS-PL) and Conners Parent-Rating Scale (CPRS-RS). They were then individually administrated the WISC-IV and completed a self-esteem inventory. Group differences in the WISC-IV indices and their predictability in discriminating ADHD subtypes were analyzed. Results : We found a quantitative differentiation of cognitive abilities among ADHD subtypes with "working memory" as the most compromised cognitive domain. ADHD-I had the poorest cognitive profile while ADHD-H scored highest in all cognitive domains. Importantly, cognitive abilities were negatively correlated with inattention and positively correlated with hyperactive symptoms. Moreover, self-esteem ratings were positively correlated with the cognitive domains and were rated differently based on the subtype. ADHD-H, with the highest cognitive strength, reported the highest level of self-esteem among all subtypes. Conclusions : ADHD subtype-specific symptoms, cognitive deficits, and social functioning should be considered for precise diagnosis and effective treatment. Our findings have implications for diagnosis precision and personalized intervention in ADHD. Cognitive interventions might be more compatible with and effective in inattentive and combined subtypes of ADHD. Working memory improving-based interventions can benefit all ADHD subtypes.

“…It was shown in the health surveillance of clinical populations that analyzing different clinical samples resulted in a different factor structure (Thaler et al, 2015). In the present study, participants from a wide range of high-risk sports have been included, going some way towards reflecting the heterogeneity of high-risk sport populations, thus, making the questionnaire usable for a large population.…”

Factor Structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children

Abstract: A five-factor model based on CHC theory provided superior fit for the WISC-IV in children with ADHD, as has been found with the standardization sample.
