“…17,18 The WISC-IV Processing Speed Index provided a measure of response speed and focused attention that is known to be sensitive to childhood TBI. 19 Three subtests of the TEA-Ch were administered. The Walk/Don't Walk subtest was used to assess inhibitory control, and requires a child to mark footprints on a path for a ''go'' tone and inhibit marking for a ''stop'' tone.…”

This study examined whether executive function and theory of mind mediate the effects of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) on social adjustment, relative to children with orthopedic injury (OI). Participants included 19 children with severe TBI, 41 children with complicated mild/moderate TBI, and 57 children with OI. They completed measures of executive function, as well as cognitive, affective, and conative theory of mind. Parents provided ratings of children's social adjustment. Children with severe TBI performed more poorly than children with OI on executive function and theory of mind tasks and were rated by parents as having more behavioral symptoms and worse communication and social skills. Executive function and theory of mind were positively correlated with social skills and communication skills, and negatively correlated with behavioral symptoms. In multiple mediator models, theory of mind and executive function were not significant direct predictors of any measure of social adjustment, but mediated the association between injury and adjustment for children with severe TBI. Theory of mind was a significant independent mediator when predicting social skills, but executive function was not. TBI in children, particularly severe injury, is associated with poor social adjustment. The impact of TBI on children's social adjustment is likely mediated by its effects on executive function and theory of mind.

“…20 Cluster analysis has been used in cross-sectional studies of cognitive function after TBI in childhood. [23][24][25][26] From the abovementioned literature it is clear that a personoriented method of data analysis has the potential to expand our understanding of outcomes after TBI in childhood. In this study of cognitive development and recovery after childhood TBI, we used cluster analysis to investigate acute stage profiles of injury age and four indicators of cognitive function, measured by Wechsler Index scores.…”

Influence of childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) on cognitive recovery and subsequent development is poorly understood. In this longitudinal study we used cluster analysis to explore acute stage individual profiles of injury age and cognition in 118 children with traumatic brain injury. Repeated measures of cognitive function were conducted at 30 months, indicating recovery, and 10 years post-injury, indicating development. Nine clusters were identified. Recovery was evident in three clusters, two of them with low functioning profiles. Developmental gains occurred for three clusters and an acute profile of higher freedom from distractibility (FFD) and lower processing speed (PS) was related to positive differences. One cluster, average low functioning and especially low verbal comprehension, demonstrated a slower development than peers. This suggests that developmental change after TBI in childhood takes place on a continuum, with both chance of long-term catching up, and risk of poor development. An acute profile of higher FFD and lower PS seemed to reflect injury consequences and were followed by developmental gains. These results challenge previous findings, and warrant further investigation.

“…Este padrão de resultados é raro na amostra de estandardização da WISC-III, mas freqüente após um episódio de lesão cerebral traumática grave (Donders, 1996a(Donders, , 1997Donders & Warschausky, 1997). Os índices Organização Perceptiva e Rapidez de Processamento apresentam ainda correlações estatisticamente significativas com variáveis neurológicas relacionadas com a localização e a gravidade da lesão (determinada pela duração do coma examinada a partir da Glasgow Coma Scale) e por dados provenientes de neuroimagem (Donders, 1997).…”

Este texto pretende evidenciar os principais contributos da Terceira Edição da Escala de Inteligência de Wechsler (WISC-III) para a avaliação neuropsicológica de crianças e adolescentes. Alguns indicadores são objeto de exploração: Quociente Intelectual da Escala Completa, Quociente Intelectual verbal, Quociente Intelectual de realização, discrepância(s) entre QIv e QIr, Índices Factoriais, análise por subteste,variabilidade inter-testes, formas reduzidas, avaliação do nível de funcionamento cognitivo pré-mórbido, testes neuropsicológicos e funções psicológicas examinadas a partir da WISC-III. Neste contexto, são revistos alguns dos principais estudos com grupos clínicos de crianças com lesão cerebral traumática, cancro, espinha bífida, hidrocefalia, epilepsia. É feita uma referência breve ao futuro próximo da investigação relativa à utilização neuropsicológica da WISC-III.
