摘要：Background. Neuropsychology is a science with its own specific concepts, terms, andmethods of analysis of disturbances in psychological development. One of the essentialconcepts of neuropsychological methodology, according to A.R. Luria, is that of a neuropsychologicalsyndrome, which takes into account both the functional organizationof the brain and the behavioral system. However, this concept isn’t mentioned in themajority of his publications, and thus is not well known by neuropsychologists. There isno clear understanding of this concept within the works of modern neuropsychologists.This omission has a strong influence on the way analysis and interpretation of developmentaldifficulties is carried out today.Objective. The objective of this study is to present an example of the successful applicationof qualitative syndromic analysis to the case of a Mexican preschool child withdevelopmental problems and learning disabilities.Design. The clinical analysis was applied to the case of a 6 year old girl with learningdisabilities, whose difficulties had been attributed primarily to a low level of generalbrain activation.Results. The authors assert that the advantages of A.R. Luria’s syndromic approachto clinical cases of difficulties in development and learning disabilities, are that it opensup the potential for finding the general causes on different levels: neuronal maturation,brain mechanisms, activity and personality.Conclusion. The authors conclude that the topic of syndromic analysis in child neuropsychologyrequires further scientific discussion. The necessity for revising levels ofanalysis of clinical cases should be taken in account.
