Variability in neurocognitive performance: Age, gender, and school-related differences in children and from ages 6 to 12

Abstract: Cognitive development in children presents peculiarities according to groups of age, gender, and type of school. Few studies have been investigating the effects of all these factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the main effects and the interactions of age, gender, and type of school in 419 children from ages 6 to 12 years old evaluated by the Child Brief Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (NEUPSILIN-Inf). Older children, children in private schools and girls presented better results. Interactio… Show more

“…Cognition is a complex phenotypic construct with great heterogeneity across individuals. This phenotype variability within the population is the consequence of many factors, both genetic and environmental, that determine brain formation and neurodevelopment during the foetal stage and first decades of life (Davies et al, 2011; Gräff and Mansuy, 2008; Haworth et al, 2010; Kochhann et al, 2017). Therefore, the genetic makeup of each individual, the influence of different environmental factors and the interaction between them all contribute to the wide range of capacities observed in human cognition.…”

“…En general, se propone que en las tareas de fluencia o fluidez verbal participan los procesos de memoria de trabajo, atención sostenida, monitoreo e inhibición (componente ejecutivo), memoria semántica, estrategias de búsqueda y activación de ítems léxicos (Gaillard et al, 2000;García Coni & Vivas, 2014;Marino & Alderete, 2008;Marino & Alderete, 2010;Shao, et al, 2014). Diversas investigaciones han propuesto que tanto factores biológicos como socioculturales tienen incidencia en el desempeño en dichas tareas (Jacobsen et al, 2016;Kochhann et al, 2017;Van der Elst, Hurks, Wassenberg, Meijs, & Jolles, 2011).…”

“…Adolescence is the developmental period during which functional brain maturation interacts with sexual divergence in social, behavior, and biological changes (Kochhann et al 2017). Particularly, sex differences are prominent in behavior and have been studying for a long time (Hardee et al 2017;Qian et al 2015a).…”
