Abstract

The main objective of this study is to compare a subject with a clinical diagnosis of Fragile X Syndrome with other disorders (ADHD, Mental Retardation and ASD) in executive functioning and language. The language variables analyzed are lexical knowledge, lexical access, free induced verbal fluency, comprehension instruction and verbal reasoning. On the other hand, the executive functioning variables evaluated are visual and auditory memory, visual and auditory attention, and visual and auditory planning and inhibition. After evaluation, it is checked that Fragile X Syndrome resembles to Mental Retardation and ASD in many of the variables evaluated.
