초록

본 연구의 목적은 아스퍼거 장애에서 관리기능(executive function)의 결손이 있다는 가설을 검증하는 것이었다. 대부분의 관련 선행 연구들은 관리기능과 다른 인지기능의 결손을 잘 구별할 수 없는 과제의 결손만을 검증한 제한점이 있었다. 본 연구는 이러한 제한점을 극복하기 위하여 관리기능 의존도가 높고 낮음에 따라 구성한 짝과제를 이용한 연구 설계를 도입하였다. 구체적으로 아스퍼거 아동 15명과 통제 아동 15명을 Wechsler IQ-Executive IQ, Verbal IQ-Performance IQ, 단순시행-간섭시행, 상식-단어유창성, 빠진곳찾기-도안유창성, 재인시행-회상시행의 6개 짝과제에서 비교하였다. 6개의 짝과제 중 5개에서 집단(아스퍼거, 통제)과 관리기능 의존도(낮음, 높음)의 상호작용이 유의하였다. 이 상호작용은 통제군에 비교한 아스퍼거군의 결손이 관리기능 의존도가 낮은 과제에 비해 높은 과제에서 보다 심함을 반영하였다. 이 결과는 선행 연구들의 관련 결과에 비해 아스퍼거 장애의 관리기능 가설을 보다 분명히 지지하는 증거라는 점에서 의의가 있다. 관리기능 의존도가 낮은 6과제들 중 5개에서 유의한 집단간 차이가 없었다. 이는 아스퍼거 장애에서 관리기능을 제외한 다른 인지기능은 거의 정상 수준임을 제시한다.

Abstract

The goal of the present study was to test the hypothesis that Asperger disorder is associated with executive function (EF) deficits. A common limitation in prior related studies was an experimental design that could not clearly distinguish EF deficits from other cognitive deficits. To overcome this limitation, the present study employed a paired-task method, in which one task strongly demanded executive function and the other task did not. Fifteen Asperger disorder and fifteen control children were compared on six paired-tasks: Wechsler IQ-Executive IQ, Verbal IQ-Performance IQ, simple trial-interference trial, common sense-verbal fluency, picture completion-design fluency and recognition-recall. The results indicated a significant interaction between group (Asperger, control) and executive function (low, high) on all paired-tasks except recognition-recall. Each significant interaction reflected the fact that Asperger children had a greater deficit in the tasks that strongly demanded EF than the tasks that did not strongly demand EF. These results provide stronger evidence for the ‘executive dysfunction’ hypothesis than prior related studies have offered. Other findings indicated that cognitive functions other than executive function are normal in Asperger disorder.
