In einer Nachuntersuchung (8,5-Jahres Follow-up) von 16 – 22 jährigen Jugendlichen, die als Kinder aufgrund einer Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung multimodal behandelt worden waren, wurde die aktuelle Intelligenzleistung und das Intelligenzprofil mittels des K-TIM erhoben und unter Berücksichtigung der Effekte von Alter, Geschlecht und besuchter Schulform überprüft. Die Gesamtleistungsfähigkeit (SW 91) sowie die Skalen fluider und kristalliner Intelligenz liegen im unteren Durchschnittsbereich, wobei die fluide Intelligenz stärker ausgeprägt ist als die kristalline. Zudem wurden die aktuelle Leistungsfähigkeit mit der Leistungsfähigkeit zu Beginn (SW 96) und Ende der Intensivtherapie (SW 102) verglichen, die mittels der K-ABC erhoben wurde. Die längsschnittlichen Analysen zeigen Einzelkorrelationen im mittleren Bereich. Multiple Regressionsanalysen belegen den höchsten Einfluss auf die Skala Gesamtintelligenz (K-TIM) durch die Fertigkeitenskala (K-ABC) zu Behandlungsende mit fast 50 % Varianzaufklärung.


Course of Intellectual Abilities in Children with ADHD in the Long-Term – Results of an 8,5-Year Follow-up of the Cologne Adaptive Multimodal Treatment Study (CAMT)

The intelligence level and profile of adolescents aged 16 – 22 years, who have received a multimodal treatment of their Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder in their childhood was assessed in a 8,5 year follow-up-study with the K-TIM. The effects of age, gender and type of school were analyzed. The Composite Intelligence-Scale (IQ 91), Crystallized and Fluid Scales were in the lower average range. The fluid was higher than the crystallized intelligence. Current performance was compared with the performance at beginning (IQ 96) and end (IQ 102) of intensive treatment using the K-ABC. The longitudinal analyses show correlations in the medium range. In multiple regression analyses the achievement scale at the end of the treatment had the highest influence on the K-TIM total score with nearly 50 % of variance explained.
