“…Each index is normalized within each age group (mean 100, standard deviation 15). When the IQ was in the area of high intellectual potential 25,26 (i.e., VCI, PRI, or IQ ≥130, representing more than 2 standard deviations from the mean of the normal distribution), children were included in the HIQ group, otherwise, children were included in the NIQ group. An absolute difference ≥15 between VCI and PRI is known as significant verbal performance discrepancy (SVPD) and highlights the heterogeneity of the cognitive profile.…”

AimsTo compare the children's sleep electroencephalogram according to their intellectual profile.MethodsChildren were grouped according to their Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) scores (17 with normal intelligence quotient [IQ, NIQ] and 24 with high IQ [HIQ]). Comparisons of spectral power between groups and its relationship with WISC scores were assessed using analyses of variance and linear regression models, adjusted for age and sex.ResultsChildren with HIQ had more rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, especially late at night, and more power in slow‐frequency bands during REM sleep than those with NIQ. There were also positive associations between the processing speed index and the spectral power in β bands in NREM sleep, and with the spectral power in α, σ, β, and γ bands in REM sleep, with different associations between groups.ConclusionThe enhanced power in slow bands during REM sleep in children with HIQ overlaps with that of typical REM sleep oscillations thought to be involved in emotional memory consolidation. The dissimilar relationships between spectral power and WISC scores in NIQ and HIQ groups may underlie functional differences in brain activity related to cognitive efficiency, questioning the direction of the relationship between sleep and cognitive functioning.

Objective Executive functions (EFs) play a key role in cognitive and behavioral functioning. Their multiple forms and implications for daily life behaviors mean they are sometimes equated with intelligence. Several elements even suggest that intellectually gifted children (IGC) may present better executive functioning than typical developing children (TDC, children with intelligence in the average range). However, no study has ever completely tested this hypothesis by a comprehensive assessment of EFs in IGC. Method Results of 30 IGC and 35 TDC aged from 6 to 16 years old were compared through a comprehensive assessment of EFs (inhibition, flexibility, and planning), comprising performance-based and daily life measures. Results IGC did not differ from TDC in EF performance-based measures. However, they scored higher in parents’ and some teachers’ ratings, suggesting higher indicators of difficulties in daily life. Conclusions Contrary to expectations, high intellectual level does not appear to be associated with superior EFs. Surprisingly, parents and teachers of IGC reported more complaints about their executive functioning in everyday life. We put forward different hypotheses to explain this contrast. Further research is needed to better understand this phenomenon, in which neuropsychology has a fundamental role to play.
