contents Neuropsychological and Educational Profile of Children with Dyscalculia and Dyslexia: A Comparative Study Magda Solange Vanzo Pestun Rauni Jandé Roama-Alves Sylvia Maria Ciasca Psicología Assessment Arithmetic Learning disorders This paper aims to compare the neuropsychological and educational profiles of Brazilian children with dyscalculia (n = 8), dyslexia (n = 13) and without learning disabilities (n = 12). The neuropsychological profile was composed of: (a) intelligence - assessed by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III); (b) attention - WISC-III Coding and Symbol Search subtests; (c) executive functions - Digit Span (backward order) and WISC-III Arithmetic subtests, Pseudoword Repetition Test for Brazilian Children, Stroop Test and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test; (d) memory - WISC-III Digit Span subtest (forward order) and Rey Complex Figures. The educational profile was composed of reading, writing and mathematics, assessed by the Academic Performance Test and the Arithmetic Test. It was found that the groups with dyscalculia and dyslexia did not differentiate in any of the neuropsychological abilities, only in the reading and writing abilities. Neuropsychological variables that could explain these results were discussed. 2019 artículo científico 1413-8271 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=401064744004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4010/401064744004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4010/401064744004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4010/401064744004/401064744004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4010/401064744004/movil 10.1590/1413-82712019240404 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4010 Psico-USF application/pdf Universidade São Francisco Psico-USF (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.24
