ABSTRACT Pediatric neuropsychologists and researchers commonly interpret a low score as a cognitive weakness. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of low scores for three neuropsychological tests used to evaluate executive function in 4,595 healthy children from Latin-America and Spain. Results showed that low scores are common when multiple neuropsychological outcomes are evaluated in healthy individuals. Clinicians should consider the higher probability of low scores in a given individual when evaluating executive functions using various sets of scores to reduce false-positive diagnoses of cognitive deficits in a child.

来自 10 个拉丁美洲国家和西班牙的讲西班牙语的儿科人群执行功能测试低分的流行率

摘要小儿神经心理学家和研究人员通常将低分解释为认知缺陷。该研究的目的是确定用于评估来自拉丁美洲和西班牙的 4,595 名健康儿童的执行功能的三项神经心理学测试的低分流行率。结果表明，当在健康个体中评估多种神经心理结果时，低分很常见。临床医生在使用各种分数评估执行功能时，应考虑给定个体出现低分数的可能性较高，以减少儿童认知缺陷的假阳性诊断。
