Habilidad narrativa de los niños con trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad

Year: 2005

Abstract: Narrative skills in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The present study examined the cognitive processing abilities of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A story retelling task was used to assess narrative abilities in 30 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and 30 normally developing children, matched on age, IQ, word retrieval and reading comprehension. Results indicated that the two groups did differ in the production of narratives. The children with ADHD provided stories more poorly organized and less cohesive and contained more inaccuracies. As a result, their stories were often confused and hard to follow. Thus the observed deficits in narrative production in children with ADHD may reflect underlying deficits in executive processes. That may impair organization of information.
