“…An international theoretical study was conducted by Batista et al, (2007), comparing cognitive and methodological aspects involving the ToH and the Tower of London. In preschool groups, fluid intelligence, working memory and inhibitory control, when observing the two towers, only the ToH showed these three components as predictors.…”

The Tower of Hanoi is a tool used to evaluate executive functions. However, few studies describe what functions are evaluated in this test. This study investigates the executive functions, evaluated by the Tower of Hanoi (ToH), and the influence of gender, age and its relationship with intelligence. We evaluated 55 children and adolescents, between the ages of ten and 16, without diagnosed neuropsychiatric disorders. The results showed that the performance and time in to complete the Tower of Hanoi have no discriminative power when comparing age groups and sex; there was also no significant correlation found between the ToH and the execution quotient of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Third Edition (WISC III), perceptual organization and the speed of processing. Only the subtest coding were positively related to the ToH, demonstrating that these instruments may be measuring related aspects of intelligence and executive functions, namely intelligence and working memory.

“…This makes comparisons between studies difficult and can explain the diversity of the findings (Batista et al, 2007;Unterreiner & Owen, 2006). Importantly, studies should use standardized versions and measures (e.g., Krikorian et al, 1994) to facilitate comparisons between results.…”

“…Reviews by Batista, Adda, Miotto, Lucia, and Scaff (2007) and Unterreiner and Owen (2006) corroborated the absence of a consensus with regard to which measures, among memory, working memory, inhibitory control, intelligence, and cognitive flexibility, can best predict ToL performance. Despite the divergence, inhibitory control and working memory tended be the best predictors of ToL performance.…”

Some executive tasks may require diverse abilities to solve, having implications for the comprehension of an individual's performance. This study investigated the processes involved in the resolution of a complex test of executive function (EF): the Tower of London (ToL) task. One hundred twenty-four healthy teenagers, 11-14 years old (M = 12.5, SD = 1.14) participated in the study. They were tested using the Auditory Working Memory Test, Visual Working Memory Test, Computerized Stroop Test, Semantic Generation Test, Cancellation Attention Test, and Trail Making Test B, in addition to the ToL. Multivariate analysis showed significant effects of age on visual and auditory working memory, interference control, and planning, with a marginal effect on selective attention. A gender effect was found only on visual working memory where boys scored higher than girls. Significant correlations were found between EF measures despite their low and moderate magnitudes. Performance on the ToL task was correlated with some executive ability measures. The most difficult problems that required four and five moves were more correlated with EF measures than the easier problems that required two and three moves. Regression analyses revealed that only auditory working memory integrated the ToL explanation model after controlling for age. However, the explained variability was very modest, suggesting that other abilities not analyzed in this study may participate in the ToL solution. In conclusion, this investigation highlighted the modest role of auditory working memory in ToL scores in a sample of teenagers.

“…A ToL avalia a capacidade de planejamento. Contém níveis progressivos de dificuldade e que apresenta problemas diversificados (BATISTA et al, 2007). O instrumento é composto por uma base de madeira e contém três hastes verticais e três esferas coloridas, de cores vermelha, verde e azul.…”

Este estudo teve o objetivo de explorar as relações entre as funções executivas e o desempenho acadêmico. Participaram da pesquisa 142 alunos do terceiro ano do Ensino Fundamental de três escolas públicas do sul de Minas Gerais, no Brasil, com idade média de 8,15 (DP=0,36), sendo que 79 eram meninos. Foram aplicados o Teste de Stroop Computadorizado, o Teste de Trilhas – parte B, a Torre de Londres e o Teste de Memória de Trabalho Auditiva e Visual. O desempenho foi verificado por meio das notas bimestrais liberadas pela escola. Foram obtidas correlações entre o Teste de Trilhas-B e todas as disciplinas, menos Religião, entre a Torre de Londres e Matemática, Artes e Literatura, entre Memória de Trabalho Auditiva e Ciências e Literatura, entre os grupos de alto e baixo desempenho e o Teste de Trilhas-B, Memória de Trabalho Auditiva e Visual. A regressão logística binária mostrou que a flexibilidade cognitiva explicou significativamente 29,6% da variância do desempenho. Os resultados colaboram com as discussões sobre a importância das funções executivas para o desempenho acadêmico.
