    The study population with disability characteristics showed physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairment, which has triggered environmental and social barriers . These people show limitations to their cognitive capabilities, specifically the execut i v e functions themselves, which are key to addressing challenges and goals, by integrat i n g elements such as inhibition, working memory, cognitional flexibility and planning that will improve the quality of life of this population group. The INECO instrument was applied to 90 adults institutionalized in inclusive centres of Tungurahua – Ecuador, using the instrument evaluated their structure, reliability and comparison of scores by sex, showing high internal consistency (coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de 0.834). The results indicated that the IFS has a single "executive functions" factor, explaining 46.3% of the variance, with each item showing a significant load on this factor, confirming its uniqueness. In summary, IFS is a reliable and useful tool for evaluating executi v e functions in persons with disabilities, highlighting its focus on the executive performa n c e factor and its strong internal consistency.

This study has taken a sample of victims exposed to traumatic situations (n = 45) obtained from experiences as a serious threat or harm to a family member or close friend, unexpected death of a family member or close friend, victims assault, physical abuse, rape, and others. For the evaluation, was applied a neuropsychological battery “Complex Figure Rey”, searching to evaluate memory, and can identify if there is relationship between memory and traumatic experiences of victims (SAPAVT -T). In this application adds a test that follow to evaluate the presence of traumatic experiences and identify the presence of symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, through Traumatic Questionnaire (TQ). In this population was researched the characteristics in age between 18 to 60 years old, male or female.

In the application neuropsychological there are not significant differences (p>0.005) in memory of people with traumatic experiences. Generally the evaluation showed lower, normal or upper levels of memory in people with traumatic experiences with different damage levels: severe, moderate or minor, so is recommended new studies with representative samples to identify the specific cogniti ve effects that could derive from such traumatic experiences.
