The number of children reporting attentional difficulties is rapidly increasing. While the initial hypothesis often points to a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), various factors related to current lifestyles can significantly contribute to diminished attentional capacity. For instance, excessive screen time and sleep deprivation, for example, have shown to interfere in daily cognitive functioning. A specific subgroup of children and adolescents informs pronounced attentional complaints that do not align with their spare performance on neuropsychological assessments. This paper presents several clinical case reports that highlight characteristics of daily attentional difficulties more closely associated with experiences of psychological violence. In common, throughout the neuropsychological assessment, these cases show marked discomfort regarding failure or perceived cognitive challenge. Reduced spontaneity is shown in memory - reduced short-term retrieval, despite high discrimination score in the RAVLT -, and executive functions - reduced flexibility, despite adequate concept formation in WCST. Also, in repetitive tasks, like COWAT or RAVLT, especially when underestimating their own performance adequacy, they show occasional reduced performance in posterior trials, despite having achieved higher performance previously. Understanding these nuances in a clinical setting is essential for refining differential diagnoses and proper neurocognitive interventions. Furthermore, this work inspires future research regarding the dynamics of interaction between neurodevelopment and life experiences, providing valuable insights for translational research.
