RESUMONosso trabalho visa a avaliação de funções neuropsicológicas em crianças e jovens com paralisia cerebral. Foram avaliadas 23 crianças com paralisia cerebral do tipo espástica (PC) e 10 sujeitos saudáveis. Em duas sessões de avaliação, utilizamos uma bateria de testes neuropsicológicos para análise das funções de memória e reconhecimento visuais, reconhecimento espacial, memória operacional, planejamento de ações, flexibilidade mental e formação de conceitos, manutenção atencional, atenção visual sustentada e tempo de reação. Dos 23 sujeitos, apenas 10 apresentaram Q.I superior a 90 e foram comparados ao controle. Diferenças estatísticas foram encontradas para memória visual e reconhecimento, flexibilidade mental e formação de conceitos. As conclusões apresentadas são relacionadas à possíveis danos cerebrais e uma importante discussão metodológica é agregada ao texto.Palavras-chave: paralisia cerebral; memória; atenção; funções corticais; neuropsicologia. ABSTRACTOur work aims at the evaluation of neuropsychological functions in children and young people with cerebral palsy. We evaluated 23 children with cerebral palsy spastic (PC) and 10 healthy subjects. In two evaluation sessions, we used a battery of neuropsychological tests to analyze the memory functions and visual recognition, spatial recognition, working memory, action planning, mental flexibility and concept formation, attentional maintenance, sustained visual attention and reaction time. Of the 23 subjects, only 10 had higher IQ at 90 and were compared to control. Statistical differences were found for visual recognition and memory, mental flexibility and concept formation. The conclusions presented are related to the possible brain damage and an important methodological discussion is aggregated to the text.
