Resumo

In this investigation, the contribution of cognitive functioning to arithmetic problem solving of children with attention deficit and/or hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and with mathematical learning disabilities (MLD) were examined. The sample was made up of a total of 60 students of 4th, 5th, and 6th grade organized in two groups: ADHD (n = 30) and MLD (n = 30). . Assessment was conducted in two sessions in which the PASS processes and arithmetic problem solving were evaluated. Executive processes predicted arithmetic problem solving in the ADHD group whereas simultaneous processing was the unique predictor in the MLD sample.
