Objectives : This study was performed to evaluate neurocognitive function according to psychopathology in children with ADHD.
Methods: All the participants were divided into 5 groups, development delay group(DDG), internalizing symptoms group(INT), externalizing symptoms group(EXT), combined symptoms group(COM), and ADHD only group(PAG) by the T scores of KPI-C. CNT scores of the five groups were compared.
Results: Intelligence quotient and omission errors in auditory continuous performance test(CPT) were significantly lower in DDG than other groups. Time and errors in trail making test A and B in DDG were significantly higher than other groups. Reading black word, reading color word, color naming, word reading of color word in DDG were also significantly different than other groups. There’s no significant difference in six category of Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.
Conclusion : This study demonstrates that overall neurocognitive function in DDG is lower than other groups of children with ADHD. It is postulate that DDG group of children delayed in verbal and motor development and it is related to poorer performance of neurocognitive function. Considering psychopathology in diagnosing children with ADHD is important to select treatment modalities, expect treatment response, and to anticipate long term prognosis.
