MOHPI (RB 16.145)

Details and patient eligibility

About

The main objective of this study is to determine whether children with high intellectual potential have gestural and / or executive difficulties compared to control children.

Enrollment: 66 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 6 to 16 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

All participants :

• Informed consent of the child and both parents obtained
• Affiliated to Social Security
• Participants must be between 6 and 16 years of age.

Child with high intellectual potential :

• Score ≥ 130 on an intellectual efficiency scale administered by a psychologist

Control child :

• They will have to be intellectually efficient in the standard. To ensure this, the two sub-tests of the Intellectual Efficiency Scale (WISC-V) most closely correlated with intelligence (Vocabulary and Matrices) will be administered to them. Thus, the child must meet one of the following criteria in order to be included:
• Have two standard notes between -1 and +1 DS (between 7 and 13);
• Have one of its two notes between -1 and + 1DS (between 7 and 13) and the other between -2DS and <+ 2DS (between 5 and 15).

Exclusion criteria

All participants :

• Neurological history (epilepsy, cranial trauma, prematurity ...)
• Psychiatric history (Autistic Spectrum Disorder ...),
• Known genetic disease,
• Motor deficiency (eg hemiplegia),
• Elementary sensory disorder (auditory and visual) or insufficient command of French, limiting the understanding and participation in the study likely to impact the results to the protocol.
• Gnosic visual or linguistic deficiency.
• Sensory disorder
• Psychotropic Intake

Control child :

• High intellectual potential
• Known or suspected learning disability (no dyslexia-dysorthography, dysphasia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia).
