La sindrome di DiGeorge è causata da una delezione del cromosoma 22 e in tale quadro sindromico esiste una disfunzione del network dopaminergico cruciale nell’apprendimento. Il reversal learning è l’abilità di un soggetto di apprendere una regola e poi invertirla; danni alla corteccia orbitofrontale sono connessi a disfunzioni nei processi di rinforzo legati all’apprendimento. Il presente studio cerca di comprendere se esiste un legame tra la sindrome di DiGeorge e l’abilità di reversal learning e quindi una connessione con l’apprendimento. Lo studio è diviso in due parti: nella prima parte un compito di reversal learning, con feedback probabilistico, è stato somministrato a 119 bambini con sviluppo tipico, suddivisi in 3 gruppi, per comprendere quando compare l’abilità di reversal learning. Nella seconda parte, oltre al compito di reversal learning è stata somministrata una WISC-R a 10 bambini con la sindrome di DiGeorge, confrontati con 24 bambini a sviluppo tipico. I risultati suggeriscono che nei bambini a sviluppo tipico l’abilità di reversal learning appare simile e l’apprendimento sembra essere solo più lento nella sindrome di DiGeorge.;
