Abstract

As a part of a wider study, 176 children were evaluated through a neuropsychological battery. Children were 5 to 12 year-old (both sex), they were in medium socio-economic level and they were in a bilingual school. Children were divided by sex, and by age group (5-6, 7-8, 9-10 and 11-12 yearold). Neuropsychological battery included the Boston Naming Test, Token Test, Superimposed Figures (Poppelreuter type), a Verbal Fluency Test (FAS Test) and a Sequential Verbal Memory Test. No differences were found between sex in any of the applied tests. There was a significative difference among age groups for all the tests that were applied. Results are compared with some other reported (Ardila & Rosselli, 1994). This study will continue in evaluation of another socioeconomic levels and scholar education.

Keywords: neuropsychological assessment; children neuropsychology; normative data.
