Abstract

The paper analyzed the structure of intelligence in primary school children with ADHD. The author identified problems with orientation in the various spheres of human social behaviour, independency, social maturity of judgment and ability to apply social rules. A decrease in the level of speech development and symbolic functions on the whole was observed, as well as algorithm simplification. The basic characteristics of attention are underdeveloped. In general, the structural components of intelligence are rather specific and reflect the structure of functional brain disorders at ADHD.

Keywords
