Neuropsychologische Profile und Vulnerabilität für psychische Störungen bei ausgewählten genetischen Syndromen mit Störungen der Intelligenzentwicklung
摘要
The analysis of individual cognitive profiles and the assessment of executive function components contributes to a better understanding of the problems that children, adolescents, and adults with intellectual disabilities experience in coping with social demands. Characteristic profiles and abnormalities in executive functions in Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and Prader–Willi syndrome are described. These examples illustrate associations with psychological problems—so-called behavioral phenotypes—in children, adolescents, and adults with these genetic syndromes.
