In children with Borderline Intellectual Functioning (BIF), the analysis of cognitive functions across scales of intelligence, is always complex, especially if they can provide explanations about their learning difficulties. The Wechsler Scale, through the testing functions that are grouped in Working Memory (WM) and Processing Speed (PS), provides relevant information on the structure and cognitive functioning, with respect to a possible neurological dysfunction, which could be the base for specific learning difficulties. In this paper we study the profile of the WISC-IV of 39 pupils with CIL, in particular the indexes of MT and VP, in association with learning difficulties that arise. We conclude that these indexes are an important explanatory base their difficulties and a reference in the areas of pedagogic intervention.
