Executive functions (EFs) measures of 27 asthmatic children, with general learning difficulties, were tested by using the Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST), and were compared to the performances of 30 non-asthmatic children with general learning difficulties. The results revealed that the asthmatic group has poor performance through all the WCST psychometric parameters and especially the perseverative errors one. The results were discussed in light of the postulation that poor EFs could be associated with the learning difficulties of asthmatic children. Neurophysiological framework has been suggested to explain the etiology of poor EFs among children with moderate into severe asthma.
采用威斯康星卡片分类测验（WCST）对27名患有一般性学习困难的哮喘儿童的执行功能（EFs）进行了测试，并将其表现与30名患有一般性学习困难的非哮喘儿童进行了比较。结果显示，哮喘组在所有WCST心理测量参数方面表现较差，尤其是持续性错误方面。根据EFs较差可能与哮喘儿童学习困难相关的假设对结果进行了讨论。已提出神经生理学框架来解释中度至重度哮喘儿童EFs较差的病因。
