Conditions

High Intellectual Potential, Children

Brief summary

The main objective of this study is to determine whether children with high intellectual potential have gestural and / or executive difficulties compared to control children.

Interventions

OTHERclinical examination in neurology

This examination is based on the movement of the child in a standing position (forward and backward on a straight line, jumping on a foot ...), seated (visual continuation ...) and elongated (tone, patellar and achillian reflexes, superficial sensitivity ...) . This makes it possible to evaluate all the neurological systems.

This examination is based on the use of standardized psychometric tools and validated with children, usually used in clinical practice.

OTHERanamnestic elements

Several elements will be collected during the clinical interview to inform the history of the child's development, such as neonatal data (term of pregnancy, APGAR score ...), age of appearance of the first words , seating, walking, possible care, level of education ans level of education of the parents.

Inclusion criteria

All participants : * Informed consent of the child and both parents obtained * Affiliated to Social Security * Participants must be between 6 and 16 years of age. Child with high intellectual potential : * Score ≥ 130 on an intellectual efficiency scale administered by a psychologist Control child : * They will have to be intellectually efficient in the standard. To ensure this, the two sub-tests of the Intellectual Efficiency Scale (WISC-V) most closely correlated with intelligence (Vocabulary and Matrices) will be administered to them. Thus, the child must meet one of the following criteria in order to be included: * Have two standard notes between -1 and +1 DS (between 7 and 13); * Have one of its two notes between -1 and + 1DS (between 7 and 13) and the other between -2DS and \<+ 2DS (between 5 and 15).

Exclusion criteria

All participants : * Neurological history (epilepsy, cranial trauma, prematurity ...) * Psychiatric history (Autistic Spectrum Disorder ...), * Known genetic disease, * Motor deficiency (eg hemiplegia), * Elementary sensory disorder (auditory and visual) or insufficient command of French, limiting the understanding and participation in the study likely to impact the results to the protocol. * Gnosic visual or linguistic deficiency. * Sensory disorder * Psychotropic Intake Control child : * High intellectual potential * Known or suspected learning disability (no dyslexia-dysorthography, dysphasia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia).
