Triple X syndrome (TXS, also known as trisomy or 47,XXX) has been associated with impaired overall neurocognitive functioning in children and relatively young adults. However, adults TXS is poorly understood. The aim of this study was, therefore, to examine cognitive TXS. Methods: In cross-sectional study, data were collected from 34 adult women (mean age = 32.9; SD 13.1) 31 controls 34.9; 13.7). General intellectual functioning, semantic/verbal memory, visual/episodic psychomotor speed, attention executive then compared between these two groups. Results: We found that general was significantly lower the group control group. addition, had more problems particularly motor processing speed. When analyses adjusted for IQ, strength associations decreased. scored at free recall verbal memory test, but not immediate delayed recognition. Finally, did differ Conclusions: Our analysis revealed score have impairments speed controls, do respect functioning. These results offer new insights improving support both school workplace.
