Neuropsychological Performance of Students with Learning Disorder Comorbid with Internalizing and Externalizing Problems Using Wechsler Scale and Bender-Gestalt Test

The purpose of present study is to compare the neuropsychological performance of students with learning disorder, comorbid with internalizing and externalizing problems. This study was a descriptive-analytic research. Fifteen students with learning disorder and externalizing problems and 15 students with learning disorder and internalizing problems diagnosed and selected by Achenbach test using a convenience sampling. For comparison of their neuropsychological performance, Visual-Motor Bender-gestalt Test, and Fourth Edition of Wechsler Scale for Children were used. There was no significant difference between internalizing and externalizing groups in the growth Mature Scores (z), while the study of the brain injury errors frequency of Bender-Gestalt test showed that the most errors of the externalizing group was the Lack of integrity error, and internalizing group errors was the rotation error. The findings could be utilized in the process of diagnosis and intervention for these students.
