Kerns, Kimberley A.; Don, Audrey; Mateer, Catherine A.; Streissguth, Ann P.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v30 n6 p685-93 Nov-Dec 1997
Sixteen nonretarded young adults with fetal alcohol syndrome were divided into two groups, one with average to above average IQ and one with borderline to low average IQ. Subjects in both groups manifested clear deficits on neuropsychological measures sensitive to complex attention, verbal learning, and executive function at a frequency and severity greater than expected based on IQs.
