SUMMARY:

Studies in individuals with high intellectual potential (HIP) highlight intellectual

functioning marked by global activation and less segregation of the cortex. Therefore,

several authors problematize the impact of some specific cognitive processes in

determining intelligence, among which, executive functions (EF) and creativity stand out.

The present study intends to continue the recent study developed by Felinto (2018) that

highlighted the overlap of creativity and intelligence in the adolescent population and the

relationship between intelligence and working memory (WM) in young adults with HIP.

That said, the aim of this study is to analyze the relationships between HIP, EF, and

creativity in children and youth audiences. The thesis was subdivided into three studies:

1) Book Chapter - "Paradoxical" Relationships between High Abilities/Giftdness and

Dyslexia; 2) The predictive value of HIP on EF and creativity in children; 3) Performance

in WM and creativity in children and adolescents with HIP. Thirty-eight children and

adolescents, aged between 7 and 14 years, from public and private schools in the city of

Natal/RN participated in this study. An assessment procedure of intelligence, EF, and

creativity was carried out with the participants through a battery of neuropsychological

instruments, and then descriptive and inferential analyses were implemented. In Study 1,

clinical aspects of the asynchronous cognitive profile in children with twice

exceptionality were addressed; In Study 2, significant and strong correlations were found

between intelligence and EF task (stroop effect) and intelligence was found to predict the

performance of children with HIP in EF task (stroop effect). In Study 3, the results showed

significant and strong correlations between intelligence and creativity, as well as a

difference between the groups in the variables mentioned above and in a specific step of

the WM test. Given this, it is concluded that children and adolescents with HIP present

particular characteristics for EF and creativity.
