Many studies report on the usefulness of the evaluation of Executive Functions (EF) in the assessment of participants with ADHD, while others underline how deficits of EF in these participants are not consistent and that the same executive deficits are present in many other disorders, particularly in Asperger's disorder. Using the Planning Attention Simultaneous Successive (PASS) theory, the present study explores the cognitive profiles of participants with ADHD or Asperger's disorder and compares the cognitive functioning of these two diagnostic groups.
Forty-four children, 24 with a diagnosis of ADHD and 20 with a diagnosis of Asperger's disorder, participated and their cognitive processes were evaluated with the Cognitive Assessment System.
Results underline specific cognitive profiles in ADHD and Asperger's disorder characterized by weaknesses in planning and attention, but with a diverse level of severity.
Implications of the different cognitive profiles of these diagnostic groups are discussed.
许多研究报告了执行功能（EF）评估在多动症参与者评估中的有用性，而其他研究则强调这些参与者的EF缺陷并不一致，且相同的执行缺陷也存在于许多其他疾病中，尤其是阿斯伯格综合征。本研究运用计划-注意-同时性-继时性（PASS）理论，探讨多动症或阿斯伯格综合征参与者的认知概况，并比较这两个诊断组的认知功能。
44名儿童参与研究，其中24名被诊断为多动症，20名被诊断为阿斯伯格综合征，并用认知评估系统对他们的认知过程进行评估。
结果突显了多动症和阿斯伯格综合征的特定认知概况，其特征为计划和注意力方面的弱点，但严重程度各不相同。
讨论了这些诊断组不同认知概况的影响。
