Cross-sectional evaluation compares cognitive scores in children with SLD, ADHD, and a comparison group, indicating significant differences.

Key Points

This study aims to compare cognitive profiles among children with specific learning disorder (SLD), ADHD, and a clinically evaluated comparison group.
Cross-sectional evaluation of 130 children aged 7-13 years (32 SLD, 56 ADHD, 42 comparison)
Comparison of WISC-IV scores across groups in areas including Verbal Comprehension and Working Memory
Assessment of associations between cognitive scores and parental education levels.
SLD group had the lowest WISC-IV scores overall, while the ADHD group showed intermediate scores and the comparison group had the highest.
Verbal Comprehension, Working Memory, Processing Speed, and Full Scale IQ scores differed across groups, but Perceptual Reasoning did not.
Parental education positively associated with cognitive outcomes; however, group moderation was observed only in Verbal Comprehension.
