Executive dysfunction significantly impacts borderline intellectual capacity (BIC). Addressing neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD early can prevent BIC by improving working memory.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Context:

  • Borderline intellectual capacity (BIC) is defined by an IQ of 71-84.
  • BIC often indicates an underlying neurodevelopmental disorder.
  • Executive functions influence cognitive abilities and intellectual capacity.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the impact of executive dysfunction in patients with BIC.
  • To compare executive functions in BIC patients with those in ADHD patients.

Summary:

  • 87 BIC patients were analyzed; 51 completed the BRIEF questionnaire for executive functions.
  • High prevalence of neurocognitive disorders, including ADHD, learning difficulties, and pervasive developmental disorders, was found.
  • Significant executive function involvement was observed in the BIC group.

Impact:

  • Neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly ADHD, strongly influence intellectual capacity.
  • Early detection and intervention for these disorders may prevent BIC.
  • Intervention can mitigate the sustained impact of poor working memory on intellectual development.
