Abstract

ABSTRACT Background In this study we aimed to explore how intelligence and executive functioning are related to decision-making regarding social situations in persons with mild ID. Method We studied 80 vocational school students with mild ID; the controls were 80 students of a similar age. We assessed decision-making ability with the Important Life Decisions Task. Intelligence was assessed with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale – Revised (WAIS-R), and executive functioning with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Results The WAIS-R Verbal Comprehension and the Memory/Freedom From Distractibility factors predicted the decision-making score. Executive functioning was not related to decision-making. There was no interaction between the group and other variables. Conclusions Verbal intellectual abilities and abilities related to short-term memory and attention play an important role in decision-making regarding social situations. The difference in performance between persons with ID and the control group should be regarded as quantitative and not qualitative.

轻度智障人士的决策:与智力的关系和执行功能的测量
背景在本研究中,我们旨在探讨轻度ID患者的智力和执行功能如何与社会情境中的决策相关。方法对80名中职学生轻度人格障碍进行调查;对照组是80名年龄相仿的学生。我们用重要人生决策任务来评估决策能力。用韦氏成人智力量表(WAIS-R)评估智力,用威斯康辛卡片分类测验(WCST)评估执行功能。结果WAIS-R语言理解和记忆/免于分心因素预测决策得分。执行功能与决策无关。该组与其他变量之间没有相互作用。结论言语智力能力、短期记忆和注意相关能力在社会情境决策中起重要作用。ID患者与对照组之间的表现差异应被视为定量而非定性。
