目的：本研究探讨了一组儿童的历史交通脑积水和他们的功能水平是如何与父母的评级的执行functions.Methods：本研究探讨了39个分流儿童的历史脑积水和20个健康的同龄人的执行功能。此外，两组儿童的父母完成了执行功能的行为评定量表（BRIEF），以评估父母的看法，他们的孩子的执行功能。最后，本研究探讨了分流脑积水儿童的执行功能和他们的执行functions.Results的父母评级之间的关系：总体而言，有分流脑积水的历史的儿童表现出更多的执行功能障碍比他们的健康同龄人。这些儿童被他们的父母评定为比他们的健康同龄人有更多的执行功能障碍，并显示出工作记忆，启动，心理灵活性和自我监控困难，这些似乎随着年龄的增长而增加分流脑积水组。虽然父母的收视率测量的BRIEF指数并不相关的所有执行任务内分流脑积水组，评估心理灵活性的认知测试可能是敏感的问题，注意到父母在home.Conclusions：儿童的历史分流脑积水显示执行功能缺陷的正式考试。有分流性脑积水病史的儿童的父母报告持续的执行困难，可能会随着年龄的增长而增加。
Objectives:The present study examined the executive functioning of a group of children with a history of communicating hydrocephalus and how their level of functioning was correlated with parent ratings of executive functioning.Methods:The study examined the executive functioning of 39 shunted children with a history of hydrocephalus and 20 healthy peers. Additionally, parents of both groups of children completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) to assess the parents’ perceptions of their children’s executive functioning. Finally, the study investigated the relationship between the shunted hydrocephalus children’s executive functioning and the parent ratings of their executive functioning.Results:Overall, the children with a history of shunted hydrocephalus displayed more executive dysfunction than their healthy peers. These children were rated by their parents as having more executive dysfunction than their healthy peers and displaying working memory, initiation, mental flexibility and self-monitoring difficulties, which appear to increase with age among the shunted hydrocephalus group. While parent ratings as measured by the BRIEF indices did not correlate with all executive tasks within the shunted hydrocephalus group, the cognitive tests assessing mental flexibility may be sensitive to the problems noted by parents at home.Conclusions:The children with a history of shunted hydrocephalus displayed executive functioning deficits on formal examination. The parents of children with a history of shunted hydrocephalus report ongoing executive difficulties which may increase with age.
