Zusammenfassung. Eine kurze neuropsychologisch orientierte Intelligenzdiagnostik stellt einen notwendigen Bestandteil jeder Befunderhebung bei Kindern mit zerebralen Erkrankungen dar und ist z. B. bei Hirntumoren notwendig, um Leistungsbeeinträchtigungen durch den Tumor beschreiben und eine Risikoabschätzung der Behandlungskonsequenzen durchführen zu können. Die rzburger Psychologische Kurz-Diagnostik (WÜP-KD) ist ein Screening-Instrument, um mentale Funktionen in ca. einer Zeitstunde zu untersuchen. Diese Kurz-Intelligenzdiagnostik ist in ihren wesentlichen Teilen leicht anwendbar und wenig belastend für das Kind. Auch schwer erkrankte Kinder sind so im Behandlungsverlauf untersuchbar. Aus diesem Grund erfasst der WÜP-KD über den IQ hinaus die sensomotorischen und feinmotorischen Funktionen, die Reaktionsfähigkeit und die Aufmerksamkeit. Erste Vergleiche des Kurztests mit der K-ABC zeigen in Regressionsanalysen gute Varianzaufklärungen wesentlicher Parameter der K-ABC. Die Auswahl der Tests erfolgte unter Berücksichtigung des CHC-Intelligenzmodells.


Short version of intelligence testing for children with brain tumors

Abstract. A short neuropsychological examination of children with cerebral dysfunction or brain tumors is important for defining mental disorders and is necessary for the evaluation of neurocognitive sequelae. The rzburg Psychological Short Diagnostics (WUEP-SD) has been developed as a screening instrument to measure mental and attention abilities. This test, which is applicable to critically ill children, only takes one hour and does not strain the child. Thus, there are options to examine children who cannot be assessed by other test modalities due to disease and compliance. The test assesses mental abilities (IQ), sensorimotor and fine-motor function, reaction, and attention. Analysis of the correlation coefficients between the various scales of the WUEP-SD and the K-ABC revealed high coefficients in a regression analysis. The tests were selected with consideration to the CHC theory of intelligence.
