Resumen

Antecedentes: el objetivo principal del estudio fue evaluar el funcionamiento neurocognitivo en adolescentes con alto riesgo psicométrico de presentar problemas de salud mental. Método: se seleccionó una muestra de 48 participantes con alto riesgo de trastornos mentales y un grupo de comparación de 48 adolescentes emparejados por edad y género a partir de la muestra total de 1.509 adolescentes. Se administró el Cuestionario de Capacidades y Dificultades y la Batería Neurocognitiva Computerizada de la Universidad de Pensilvania para población infantil y adolescente (incluidas 14 tareas que evalúan cinco dominios neurocognitivos: funciones ejecutivas, memoria episódica, cognición compleja, cognición social y velocidad sensoriomotora). Resultados: en relación con el grupo de comparación, los participantes de alto riesgo mostraron diferencias significativas en casi todos los dominios neurocognitivos. Conclusiones: estos hallazgos demuestran que diferentes alteraciones neurocognitivas pueden manifestarse en adolescentes con alto riesgo psicométrico de presentar problemas de salud mental antes de la aparición de dificultades psicológicas más graves.
