摘要: Background: Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (BT) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk for neurocognitive late effects related to executive function. Procedure: BT (48) ALL (50) completed assessment. Executive function was compared estimated IQ population norms by diagnostic group. Results: Both demonstrated relative weaknesses. As a group, survivors weaker functioning than expected age. Those with deficits exhibited profile suggestive global dysfunction, while affected tended demonstrate specific rapid naming deficits. Conclusion: Findings suggest that may exhibit different profiles effects, which necessitate distinct intervention plans.
