Abstract: BACKGROUND: Attention-deficit hyperkinetic disorders(ADHD) may seriously impair learning ability in children.In recent years,there have been quite a few researches on intelligence development and social adaptive ability in ADHD children,but the results are controversial. OBJECTIVE:To explore the characteristics of intelligence and social adaptive ability in children with ADHD. DESIGN:A case-controlled study based on the diagnosis. METHODS:Forty-eight ADHD children(ADHD group) and forty-eight healthy children(control group) were enrolled in the study.Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children(WISC) and Social Adaptive Behavior Scale were used to evaluate intelligence and social adaptive ability for the comparison of intelligence and adaptive behavior characteristics between the ADHD and healthy children. RESULTS:For children with ADHD, verbal intelligence quotient (101.23± 7.45) was significantly higher than performance intelligence quotient(89.72± 8.00)(t=2.241,P< 0.05).Verbal intelligence quotient, performance intelligence quotient and total intelligence quotient were significantly lower in the ADHD group(101.23± 7.45 ,89.72± 8.00 and 94.12± 10.28,respectively) than in the control group(105.46± 8.70, 102.85± 9.36 and 104.20± 8.57,respectively)(t=2.360,2.547,2.012,P< 0.05).Concentration factor and acquired knowledge scores (16.10± 3.86 and 25.47± 5.01,respectively ) in the ADHD group were significantly lower than those in the control group(20.00± 3.94 and 29.33± 4.46, respectively) (t=2.764,3.223,P< 0.01).In the aspect of social adaptive abilities,independence factor and cognition factor scores (61.20± 6.14 and 56.80± 5.86,respectively) were significantly higher in the ADHD group than in the control group( 51.66± 5.47 and 48.24± 4.98, respectively) (t=2.560,2.589,P< 0.05 ).Social control factor scores(40.32± 6.22) were significantly lower in the ADHD group than in the control group(57.86± 6.03)(t=2.412,P< 0.05). CONCLUSION:Intelligence and social adaptive ability development in the children with ADHD have defects.Active prevention and treatment is important for the intelligence development and social adaptation of the children with ADHD.
