목 적：본 연구에서는 인물화 검사가 아동들의 구체적/추상적 사고를 평가하는 비언어적 도구로서 유용하게 사용될 수 있는지를 살펴보았다. 방 법：임상 집단으로 서울대학 병원 소아 정신과를 방문한 아동 30명과 정상 아동 27명을 대상으로 KEDI-WISC와 인물화 검사를 실시하고 추상적 사고 능력을 평가하는 언어적 검사로써 공통성 소검사 점수와 인물화 점수들을 비교하였다 결 과：정상 아동 집단에는 유의미한 상관을 보이지 않았으나, 임상 집단에서 공통성 소검사 점수와 인물화 점수간에 높은 상관을 보였으며, 특히 이들의 인물화 추상 점수와 공통성 소검사간에 매우 높은 상관을 나타낸 것을 볼 때, 인물화 검사 결과가 임상 집단에서 추상적 사고 특성들을 보다 잘 평가하는데 사용될 수 있음을 시사하였다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the deficits in executive function in children with ADHD and anxiety disorder, and further, to characterize executive function deficits among the two groups. Methods : Subjects consisted of 60 children between the ages of 5 and 14 (16 Normal, 24 ADHD, 20 Anxiety Disorder). Neuropsychological tests (KEDI-WISC, CCTT, STROOP, WCST, ROCF) for assessing cognitive and executive function were individually administered to all subjects. Results : There were no significant differences in FSIQ or PIQ among the three groups. However, the ADHD group tended to score lower on the VIQ and subtest of similarity, vocabulary, and digit span tests. The three groups did not significantly differ with respect to CCTT test results. On the STROOP test, the ADHD group showed poor performance on the word, color, and color-word subtests. The three groups did not exhibit significant differences in WCST test results ; however, the anxiety group performed poorly belonging to below 25 percentile rank on perseverative response. On the ROCF test, the ADHD group performed poorly with respect to their organization score and in particular, regarding copy and immediate recall. The anxiety group also performed poorly with regard to organization ; however, this was limited only to immediate recall. Conclusion : Children with ADHD displayed poor inhibition and organizational abilities compared to children with anxiety and normal controls. Further, children with anxiety disorder exhibited low cognitive flexibility and voluntary problem-solving abilities compared to ADHD children and normal controls. Based on these results, we suggest that the characteristics of executive dysfunction in ADHD and anxiety disorder in children are different.
