ABSTRACT

Introduction: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in research and clinical practice with schoolchildren. It is characterized by symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity / impulsivity that hinder learning and positive adaptation to school. ADHD is usually detected through behavioral observation scales and neuropsychological tests. Decree 170/2009 of the Chilean Ministry of Education proposes a detection protocol based on the application of the Conners Abbreviated Questionnaire without considering the cognitive aspects that neuropsychological tests provide. Objective: To determine the degree of correlation between a behavioral observation questionnaire and the results of a neuropsychological battery of evaluation of attention and inhibition. Methods: 70 Chilean Basic Education students were evaluated with the NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment Scale and with neuropsychological tests for attention and inhibition; the results were analyzed with Pearson's r. Results: There is no correlation between the scores obtained with NICHQ and the neuropsychological tests. Conclusions: Behavioral observation scales and neuropsychological tests cannot be used to replace others, rather they seem to be a continuum in the evaluation of ADHD.
