19名诊断为胎儿酒精综合征(FAS)或胎儿酒精效应(FAE)的学龄土著儿童的临床样本与年龄和性别匹配的正常对照进行了比较。一组智力和神经心理学测试的结果表明,受酒精影响的儿童和对照组之间存在巨大而显著的差异。FAS显着不同的控制措施的智力能力,而FAE没有; FAS的平均分数,这些措施显着低于FAE的手段。对于神经心理学的措施,FAS显着差于控制的大多数措施,而FAE显示赤字与对照组相比,只有握力。结果表明,神经心理学的措施将是一个有价值的补充智力措施的目的,评估酒精的影响,因为他们比智力措施的文化和教育经验的影响不那么脆弱。
A clinical sample of 19 school-aged native children diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) or fetal alcohol effects (FAE) was compared with age- and sex-matched normal controls. Results on a battery of intellectual and neuropsychological tests indicated large and significant differences between alcohol-affected children and controls. FAS differed significantly from controls on measures of intellectual abilities, while FAE did not; FAS mean scores on these measures were significantly lower than FAE means. For neuropsychological measures, FAS were significantly poorer than controls on most measures, while FAE showed deficits compared with controls only on grip strength. The results suggest that neuropsychological measures would be a valuable supplement to intellectual measures for the purpose of assessing alcohol effects because they are less vulnerable than intellectual measures to the influence of cultural and educational experiences.
