Abstract
Several research were carried out to find how are the innate brain conditions determining deficit in school performance or if exist special conditions that modify the executive functions (EF) originated in relationships or environmental context, in order to explain poor school performance. Were designed and built ad-hoc instruments like Tachistoscope, reaction time meter, Estesiometer, MAINS or maze. Psychophysiological tests used were extrapolated from the adult world to the school children area and compared with conventional written tests of student performance. Tests were applied to a universe of 145 children with a control group of 25 students in good academic standing.
