Resumen

El presente estudio persigue dos objetivos: primero evaluar la presencia de alteraciones conductuales e intelectuales en niños de 7 años ca-racterizados como de alto riego al nacer � comparados con un grupo de controles sanos � y, segundo, y lo que es más importante, evaluar el valor discriminativo de una tarea neuropsicológica de impulsividad motora (Go/No-go) como indicador del ajuste emocional en la vida cotidiana. Se administró la Escala de Evaluación de Conducta para Niños (BASC), la Es-cala de Inteligencia de Weschler (WISC) y la Go/No-go a 14 niños de 7 años de alto riesgo y a 20 controles sanos. Los niños de alto riego habían sido clasificados como tales al poco tiempo de nacer, a causa de la presencia de factores de riesgo perinatal, y posteriormente dados de alta de la unidad de atención temprana. Actualmente están escolarizados conforme a su edad. Esperábamos que la ejecución en la tarea Go/No-go fuera un indica-dor de problemas conductuales en los niños de alto riesgo y, específicamen-te, de aquellos más relacionados con el ajuste socioemocional. Los niños de alto riego mostraron peores puntuaciones en la mayor parte de las subesca-las del BASC y el WISC, y cometieron más errores de omisión y de comi-sión en la Go/No-go. Los análisis de regresión para toda la muestra mos-traron que la ejecución en la Go/No-go es un predictor (independiente-mente del CI) de los problemas de ajuste socioemocional. Este resultado concuerda con la idea de que la impulsividad motora es un mediador im-portante entre el desarrollo de la función ejecutiva y el ajuste emocional
