Abstract: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is considered to be one of the most common disorders during children and adolescents' neurodevelopment. Given how much the individuals' executive functions are affected, the objective of the present study was to verify the validity of the Neuropsychological Assessment of Executive Functions battery for Children (ENFEN for its acronym in Spanish) as a predictor in the diagnosis of ADHD. The sample consisted of 175 participants from southeast Spain of both sexes ag… Show more

“…Following Lozano et al (2015) and Reyes et al (2014), after analyzing the results of this study, we can affirm that there are significant differences between the group with normotypic development and the groups with ADHD in the execution of the tasks that make up the ENFEN battery, specifically in phonological fluency, color path, rings, and interference. These data support the hypothesis that the ENFEN battery possesses a good ability to discriminate profiles between subjects who have symptoms associated with ADHD and those who do not, whether the presentation of these symptoms are severe or moderate, or the person shows a more or less pronounced "cognitive step" (Fenollar et al, 2015;Navarro et al, 2019). Specifically, the cognitive pattern obtained in this study using the ENFEN battery shows low scores in the phonological fluency, color path, ring, and interference subtests, a significantly lower response pattern compared with the control group and in comparison with scores on the semantic fluency and gray path subtests.…”

“…In line with the efficacy of the measurement of EFs for the diagnosis of ADHD, other investigations (Mayes and Calhoun, 2006;Thaler et al, 2013;Fenollar et al, 2015;Navarro et al, 2017Navarro et al, , 2019, which use a very solid psychometric battery such as the WISC-IV (Wechsler, 2011), conclude that in the case of the clinical population diagnosed with ADHD, their cognitive pattern presents a significant step in the Cognitive Proficiency Index (compared with the GAI, it is an index made up of the scores obtained in Verbal Comprehension and Perceptual Reasoning), an index derived from the global scores obtained in WM and PS, subtests that are more demanding on an executive level (Bustillo and Servera, 2015).…”
