Abstract

The present study investigated the performance of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 on computerized assessments of attention and executive function. Relations to ADHD symptomatology were also examined. Participants included 37 children (20 male) with NF1 (9-13 years; Mage = 11.02). Participants completed the NIH Toolbox Dimensional Change Card Sort, List Sort Working Memory (LSWM), and Flanker tasks, as well as Cogstate Identification and One Back tests. ADHD symptomatology was assessed using the K-SADS. Average performance was significantly different from the normative mean on every measure, except LSWM. The NIH Toolbox Flanker and Cogstate Identification tasks detected the highest proportion of participants with at least mild difficulty, and the Cogstate Identification task detected the highest proportion of participants with severe difficulty. Analyses revealed significant relations with ADHD symptomatology for two NIH toolbox tasks. The various computerized measures of attention and executive function offer different information when working with school age children with NF1. The NIH Flanker may offer the most room for change and offers face validity, which may be beneficial for clinical trials research. However, the LSWM shows most support for relations with behavioral indicators of attention and executive challenges.

评估针对 1 型神经纤维瘤病学龄儿童的计算机化注意力和执行功能测试。
本研究调查了神经纤维瘤病 1 型儿童在注意力和执行功能计算机化评估中的表现。研究还探讨了与多动症症状的关系。研究对象包括 37 名神经纤维瘤病 1 型儿童(20 名男性)(9-13 岁;年龄 = 11.02)。受试者完成了 NIH 工具箱维度变化卡片排序、列表排序工作记忆 (LSWM) 和侧翼任务,以及 Cogstate 识别和单背测试。多动症症状采用 K-SADS 进行评估。除 LSWM 外,其他各项测试的平均成绩均与常模平均值有明显差异。在 NIH 工具箱侧翼和 Cogstate 识别任务中,发现至少有轻度困难的参与者比例最高,而在 Cogstate 识别任务中,发现有严重困难的参与者比例最高。分析表明,两项 NIH 工具箱任务与多动症症状有明显关系。在对学龄 NF1 儿童进行治疗时,各种计算机化的注意力和执行功能测试可提供不同的信息。NIH Flanker 可提供最大的变化空间,并具有表面效度,这可能有利于临床试验研究。然而,LSWM 最能证明注意力和执行力挑战与行为指标之间的关系。

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.
