Resumen

Introducción. La investigación sobre cognición social (SC) y funciones ejecutivas (EF) en el trastorno límite de la personalidad (TLP) ha arrojado datos controvertidos e insuficientes sobre los patrones de déficit.

Objetivo. Evaluar la contribución de SC y EF en los patrones cognitivos en el TLP, así como investigar las posibles relaciones entre SC, EF y las características clínicas del TLP.

Método. El estudio evaluó 20 mujeres con TLP en hospitalización ambulatoria y 20 mujeres sanas en cognición social (“Leer la mente a través de los ojos” y la tarea de apuestas IOWA) y función ejecutiva (con la Prueba de clasificación de tarjetas de Wisconsin, tareas de fluidez verbal; y números y letras del WAIS-III, formulario de prueba de Trail Making A y B).

Resultados. Se evidencian diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cognición social, la teoría de la mente (p < .001**) y la tarea de apuestas IOWA, puntúan IOWA 4 (p < .004 *) e IOWA 5 (p < .003*) y en funciones ejecutivas; por ejemplo, en la prueba de clasificación de tarjetas de Wisconsin, se encontraron WCST1 (p < .003*), WCST2 (p < .004*), WCST3 (p < .018*) o WCST4 (p < .003*). Además, la prueba de amplitud de dígitos o la fluidez verbal tuvieron diferencias significativas en comparación con los controles.

Discusión y conclusión. Los subdominios evaluados serían buenos endofenotipos, así como también procesos cognitivos específicos para investigación y rehabilitación.
