注意力缺陷過動症兒童在魏氏兒童智力量表上的表現

The Performance of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder on WISC-Ⅲ

本研究蒐集台中地區22位ADHD兒童的WISC-III分數，進行各項資料分析，希望客觀地瞭解ADHD兒童的智力分佈情形及特殊組型之比率，例如： ACID、ACIDS、SCADS組型及POI／SCAD差異分數。結果發現：（一）ADHD兒童的平均智商與一般兒童沒有顯著差異。（二）ADHD兒童沒有明顯的內在能力差異。（三）ADHD兒童比一般兒童有較高的比率呈現「部份ACID組型」、「部份ACIDS組型」及「部份SCADS組型」，但不明顯。作者認為對於這些結果應該慬慎解釋，及提出具體建議。

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the special Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-third edition (WISC-Ⅲ) subtest profiles of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The WISC-Ⅲ test results of 22 ADHD were selected to calculate the base rates for several well-known WISC-Ⅲ subtest patterns, such as 'ACID', 'ACIDS', 'SCAD', 'POI/SCAD' differences, and 'Bannatyne combinations'. Major findings were: (1) The IQs of children were similar between ADHD and Taiwan norm. (2) The intrasubject variability was not obvious in ADHD. (3) The prevalence rates of WISC-Ⅲ subtest profiles in ADHD were greater than rates reported in the norm. It should be cautious to interpreting these results. The limitations and implications of the findings were discussed.
