Neuropsychological correlates of asthma: Effect of hypoxia or drugs?

The neuropsychological deficits seen in asthmatic children are thought by W. M. Suess and H. Chai (see record 1981-10731-001) to be possibly a function of certain antiasthma medication. It is argued that a study by the author and L. E. Baade (see record 1980-12219-001) on neuropsychological adaptive behavior patterns of asthmatic children does not support this hypothesis.
