This archival study sought to determine if the relationship between cognitive and adaptive abilities varied according to brain tumor location. Participants were 36 children treated for brain tumors. The best cognitive predictors of adaptive functioning were hypothesized to be attention span within the cerebellar group and verbal memory within the third ventricle group. Auditory attention span significantly predicted communication skills for the cerebellar group, whereas verbal memory significantly predicted socialization skills for the third ventricle group. These findings suggest that cognitive predictors vary according to tumor location, and highlight the need for more research examining adaptive functioning and its correlates.

适应性功能的认知预测因小儿脑肿瘤位置而异

这项档案研究试图确定认知能力和适应能力之间的关系是否因脑肿瘤位置而异。参与者是 36 名接受脑肿瘤治疗的儿童。假设适应性功能的最佳认知预测因子是小脑组内的注意力跨度和第三脑室组内的语言记忆。听觉注意力跨度显着预测小脑组的沟通技巧，而语言记忆显着预测第三脑室组的社交技能。这些发现表明认知预测因子因肿瘤位置而异，并强调需要进行更多研究来检查适应性功能及其相关性。
