Aim of the present study was to evaluate executive functions (EF) such as inhibition, planning, working memory, set-shifting in children with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) via comparison of three ADHD subtype groups (ADHD-I, ADHD-C and ADHD-Comorbid) and a normal control group. Participants consist of 147 children. Total of 111 children were assigned into the ADHD groups of the study. Thirty seven children (5 girl and 32 boys) were assigned into the ADHD-Inattentive group, thirty seven children (6 girls and 31 boys) were assigned into the ADHD-Combined group
and thirty seven children (4 girls and 33 boys) were classified as ADHD-Comorbide group (ADHD-C with Oppositional Defiant Disorder consists of 4 girls and 31 boys, and/or Conduct Disorders consists of 2 boys). Thirty six children (6 girls and 30 boys
age range: 7- 12) were assigned as control group by matching with the ADHD groups according to the WISC-R Full Scale IQ score, sex and age. Conner&rsquo
s Parental and Teacher Rating Scales, Child Behavior Check List and Wechsler Intelligence Scale Revised, Tower of London Test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Stroop Color Word Test, Cancellation Task, Trail Making Test, California Verbal List Test for Children, Verbal Fluency Test, Continuous Performance Test, Go-No-Go Task and Bender-Gestalt Test were used for the assessment of children. The data were analyzed by one-way within subject ANOVA for all dependent variables measured by the assessment tools. Additionally discriminant function analyses were conducted to determine the variables that differentiate the three ADHD groups and control group. Outcome of study indicated that subjects in ADHD-Comorbid group had more severe Executive Function (EF) deficits than subjects in ADHD-I and ADHD-C group. The findings were discussed in the light of the literature.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has emerged as one of the most commonly diagnosed disorders and has been shown to have a negative impact on quality oflife, adversely affecting individuals scholastically, socially, and financially as adolescents and into adulthood. The goal of this study was to identify predictors of depression amongst children with ADHD to better develop early treatment methods. Analysis of the 2009 California Healthcare Interview Survey (CHIS) was conducted in identifying determinants of depression. Two hypotheses were tested. The first found that gender was a predictor of depression; however, the hypothesis that girls had a higher chance of developing depression was not supported. The second produced an insignificant relationship between depression and race, failing to support the assumption that Hispanics would be more susceptible to depression. Further discussion was provided on possible applications to clinical methods and implications to future research.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a medical diagnosis, applied mainly but not exclusively to children. Diagnosis of ADHD is a controversial issue as the validity of the condition is questioned, and the main form of intervention offered to children in the UK is Methylphenidate, better known as Ritalin, which is a psycho-stimulant. It is also controversial because it rests on the assumption of a particularly westernised cultural conception of what 'normal' childhood behaviour should be, yet dominant discourses of child development and socialisation have influenced this view of children as less competent, immature and in need of moulding to fit societal demands. The orthodox position on ADHD also appears to compound this assumption, as research which includes the experiential accounts of children who have the diagnosis is extremely rare. Children's own views and perceptions of the diagnosis have not been valued. This thesis is based on in-depth qualitative interviews with seven children aged between 6 and 15 and their parents, plus a small-scale parental survey. In addition, observations of health care professionals' practice, carried out at a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, will help to demonstrate that only by giving full consideration to the complexity of medical and lay perspectives can an understanding of ADHD as a concept, a condition, a label, and an experience be achieved. In this study 'medicalisation' debates have been used as a means of reflecting on the concept of AD}ID. It is suggested that within the health professional/parent/child triangle dominant discourses position children as passive and dependenwith their health being mediated through their parents. By drawing attention to the embodied nature of the experience and meaning of ADHD it will be shown that the valuable and insightful contributions which children and young people make to the health care division of labour have largely been neglected to date.

The hypothesis testing behaviors of 50 boys with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) were compared to those of 50 boys without ADHD. The two groups were randomly assigned to one of two feedback conditions: a) boys in the "instruction and rule" condition learned additional strategies to aid their performance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST); b) children in the "verbal only" condition learned no additional strategies. There were no significant group or condition differences between the boys on the primary dependent measures used. The results from the WCST were also evaluated according to five aspects of problem solving: (a) selective attention, (b) stimulus differentiation, (c) response generation, (d) response execution, and (e) responding appropriately to feedback. The study showed a tendency for the children with ADHD to respond according to a position or hypothesis set. Similarly, children in the "verbal only" condition tended to respond to feedback less appropriately than did children in the instruction and rule condition. These tendencies however, did not differentiate between the boys with ADHD and boys without ADHD.

This study was designed to present descriptive data from a survey of 201 school psychologists. Psychologists completed a survey addressing current practices for determining placement for students with ADHD including the role of school psychologists in determining placement, how often and who monitors services, where students are served, and what services are provided in each setting. Findings indicated that psychologists were involved less frequently in placement decisions and evaluation for Section 504 than in Special Education. Students with 504 plans received less frequent follow-up than students in Special Education. Results indicated that schools were generally following federal guidelines and recommendations from researchers for placement decisions, at least when the school psychologist was involved. Overall, service patterns for Section 504 and Special Education were similar; however, all interventions were reported more frequently in Special Education. Data indicated that empirically supported interventions may be underutilized in both settings for students with ADHD.

The aim of the study was to investigate educators’ knowledge and attitudes towards children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In particular the study sought: 1. To determine the level of educators knowledge and attitudes about ADHD 2. To ascertain whether or not is a significant difference in attitude between educators in the mainstream school and those in the resource centre (remedial school);and 3. To determine the relationship, if any, between educators’ perceptions of ADHD children and certain educators’ characteristics discussed further in the study. In this study, the focus was on primary school learners. Primary school learners are learners who are between grades one and seven. The target population was primary school educators in a mainstream school and in a resource centre. Sixty nine educators were divided into two groups:48 educators taught at a mainstream school (Group 1) and 21 educators teach at a resource center (remedial school) and deal with ADHD cases regularly (Group 2).A questionnaire was given to each responded as a method of data collection instrument. xiv The study concludes that mainstream education for ADHD children (with individualized education if necessary) causes considerable difficulty for all concerned. The educators’ attitudes towards ADHD children were far from ideal, and their knowledge is insufficient. One interesting finding from this study was that knowledge of Special Education seems to have a positive influence on the educators’ attitude towards learners with ADHD.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders in childhood among school-aged children. It is characterized by behavior disinhibition, overactivity and/or difficulty in sustaining attention. Psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are reported ways of treating ADHD. Around 35% of individuals diagnosed with ADHD also met the criteria for anxiety disorders that commonly coexist with ADHD. If not treated up to 70% of children with ADHD continue to meet the diagnostic criteria into adolescence. Psychostimulants (Methylphenidate) are the first line of treatment in Turkey. The first aim of this present study was to introduce Spence Children&
#8217
s Anxiety Scale Parent version (SCAS-P) by conducting Turkish translation, factor structure, and reliability-validity studies of the scale. Results of the principle component analysis extracted five factors for the Turkish version of SCAS-P. Inter-correlations among the factors (r=0.28 &
#8211
0.45) were found to be satisfactory indicating for convergent validity. Criterion validity of the scale was found to be significant as well. Analysis indicated that the top 27th percentile of the sample was significantly differenciated from the bottom 27th percentile of the sample (t(74)=9.63, p<
.05). Results revealed Cronbach alpha of .88, and the split half reliability of .79 for the total scale score. Internal consistency of the subscales of the SCAS-P ranged from 0.56 to 0.78. The second aim of this study was to examine the effects of Methylphenidate (MPH) on cognitive abilities, hyperactivity and anxiety level of children with ADHD since MPH is known to be a first line of treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Thirty-six elementary school children, from age seven to twelve were gathered from the local Hospital for the Social Security Office Child Psychiatry Clinic in Ankara via using purposive sampling. Seventeen children who met the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for ADHD were assigned to the drug group, and nineteen children without ADHD were assigned to the comparison group. Bender Gestalt Visual Motor Perception Test, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised subscales, and Vigilance Task developed by the researcher were administered to participant children, for measuring cognitive abilities. Hacettepe ADHD Scale and SCAS-P were administered to parents of the participants for measuring hyperactivity level and child anxiety. Measurements were repeated after a 12-week follow up both for the drug group (N=17) and the comparison group (N=19). In the 12-week period, drug group received MPH treatment, and the comparison group received no interventions regarding ADHD. 2 (Drug group vs. Comparison group) x 2 (Pretest vs. Posttest) mixed ANOVA with repeated measures on the last factor was conducted for the results of each measurement scale separately. As expected, MPH treatment revealed improvement in cognitive abilities and hyperactivity level of children with ADHD. All participants were found to have high anxiety scores when first referred to the hospital, and were found to have lower scores of anxiety on posttest. The findings were discussed on the basis of literature and limitations of the present study.

In recent decades, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has achieved a high profile in academic and popular culture alike, evidenced in several competing perspectives across a variety of sectors. As the social processes at work in objectifying a child as ‘ADHD’ are not well understood, this dissertation draws on the tenets of the sociology of mental health to explore the diagnostic mechanism by which social forces encapsulated in medical, family and educational agencies synergize to construct ADHD. In short, this study aims to examine the social processes by which a child ‘like any other’ comes to be understood as ‘being ADHD’. Despite the dominance of biochemical and neurological explanations of ADHD and in the absence of pathological evidence, the identification of ADHD predominantly relies on individualistic interpretations of human behaviour. One view gaining attention is that ADHD is situated within a broad global trend that redefines perceived ‘abnormal’ social behaviours and non-medical problems as illnesses and mental disorders requisite of medical intervention. It is argued that the mounting categorization of children as mentally disordered and the escalating use of psychotropic medication alongside images of deviant adult-ADHD behaviour contextualizes the ADHD phenomena as a contemporary moral panic worthy of further investigation.

This thesis reports on two studies which examined possible inhibitory deficits in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as the children's response to reinforcement contingencies. In the first study, a go/no-go discrimination learning task developed by Newman, Widom, and Nathan (1985) was used to investigate the effects of reward and response costs on the ability of ADHD and normal children to learn to respond to some stimuli and inhibit responding to others. Children were tested on four conditions involving different combinations of rewards and response costs. ADHD children showed poorer inhibitory control compared to control children across the four conditions, implicating a generalized inhibitory deficit. Study 2 assessed the psychophysiological responses of ADHD and control children to reward and the termination of reward during a repetitive motor task. Based on Gray's (1982, 1987a, 1987b) psychobiological model, Fowles (1980, 1988) suggested that heart rate increases during reward are reflective of activity in Gray's hypothesized behavioral activation system, while skin conductance increases when reward is removed are reflective of activity in his behavioral inhibition system. Compared to control children, ADHD children failed to show the expected increase in skin conductance during extinction, implicating a deficit in their behavioral inhibition system. In addition, ADHD children showed faster heart rate habituation to reward which, together with other evidence discussed, suggests that they also have behavioral activation abnormalities. This, the findings from the two studies provide strong evidence that ADHD children have both generalized inhibitory deficits and an abnormal response to rewards which, in some situations, may exacerbate their poor inhibition.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood psychiatric disorder characterized by developmentally inappropriate levels of inattentiveness, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Current theories of ADHD cite evidence from neuropsychological and brain imaging studies suggesting that abnormalities in the structure and function of the frontal lobes and connected brain regions are associated with impaired behavioural inhibition, constituting the primary deficit in ADHD. While most reviewers conclude that neuropsychological studies have failed to find specific deficits in various aspects of attention in ADHD, poor performance on attentional tasks, including the continuous performance task (CPT), is a common finding and previous electrophysiological studies suggest evidence of impaired attentional processing. This study aimed to investigate the cortical activity associated with attentional processes in children with and without ADHD, using steady-state probe topography (SSPT). Seventeen boys diagnosed with ADHD and seventeen age matched control boys participated. Changes in the amplitude and latency of the steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) associated with correct responses to targets in the �X� and �AX� versions of the CPT were examined. At critical time points in both tasks, the control group demonstrated SSVEP changes suggesting increased activation and increased speed of neural processing. These effects occurred predominantly in medial frontal, right prefrontal, right parietal and occipital regions, suggesting enhanced activity in regions previously shown to be involved in attentional processes. The ADHD group demonstrated much smaller increases in activation and processing speed in frontal regions and predominantly reduced activation and slower processing in parieto-occipital regions. Group differences suggesting reduced activity in the ADHD group were observed in response to the presentation of both cues and targets, as well as in the intervals leading up to target presentation, especially in the cued CPT-AX. These results suggest that processing of task relevant stimuli as well as preparatory and motor processes may be associated with dysfunctional activation of brain networks of attention in ADHD, involving deficits in both frontal and parietal cortical regions. These regions may also be involved in the maintenance of information required for correct task performance and the results also suggest possible deficits in these processes in ADHD. The findings are consistent with others of reduced activation and cognitive deficits in ADHD involving these brain regions and networks, and with the idea that ADHD may be associated with a diminished ability to regulate levels of arousal and activation appropriate to task demands.

Previous research has identified motor deficits within the ADHD population, and indicates that these individuals are at an increased risk for difficulties relating to their motor development. The present study, which utilized discriminant function analysis, was unable to document areas of motor impairment for individuals diagnosed with ADHD. Specifically, no evidence of motor impairment was identified on tasks of motor coordination, fine motor dexterity, motor speed and grip strength, which measures the integrity of the motor system at the basic output level. Interestingly, results identified that individuals with ADHD were more proficient in their motor abilities than the normative population. Two mitigating factors were controlled for in this study and were found to impact performance on motor tasks. First, higher level thinking skills such as verbal comprehension, attention control, cognitive sequencing, working memory and executive functions appear to be more responsible for documented performance deficits than an underlying motor deficit. Secondly, the high prevalence of comorbid psychiatric and medical disorders, inherent to the ADHD population, appears to negatively impact performance on motor tasks. In general, individuals with only a diagnosis of ADHD consistently outperformed individuals who had been diagnosed with ADHD and comorbid disorders.This study also examined the sensory and subcortical abilities of individuals with ADHD. Results indicate that these children are similar to their same age peers in their visual perception, visual acuity, auditory discrimination and tactile perception. Finally, this study was unable to identify evidence of impairment in the subcortical abilities of ADHD individuals. In fact, individuals with only a diagnosis of ADHD outperformed the control group across a majority of tasks assessing subcortical abilities. Comorbidity also appears to negatively impact performance on sensory and subcortical tasks, especially for individuals with comorbid medical conditions. Overall, results from this study impact the field of research which previously identified motor performance deficits in the ADHD population. Further research is needed to examine the sensory and motor abilities of ADHD individuals to understand the performance abilities of individuals with ADHD.

The purpose of this study was to describe the gross motor and fitness characteristics of children with an attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Nineteen children with an ADHD, between the ages of 7 years, 0 months and 12 years, 11 months (M = 9 years, 4 months) participated in this study. The 17 boys and 2 girls had IQs between 80 to 100, were not affected by specific learning disabilities, and behavioral problems were the primary reason for acceptance into their clinical center. Children with additional psychiatric diagnoses were excluded. All children were tested individually. Gross motor performance was measured by the Test of Gross Motor Development (Ulrich, 1985). Fitness variables were measured by selected items from the Canadian Standardized Test of Fitness (1986), the Canada Fitness Survey (1985), the CAHPER Fitness-Performance II Test (1980), and The Twenty Meter Shuttle Run Test (Leger et al., 1984). A counterbalanced Latin-Square testing order was used to avoid practice effects. Statistical analysis involved converting raw scores to percentile scores which were graphed to provide individual and group profiles of performance. The present study identified the physical fitness and gross motor performance of these children as below average.
Programming implications and recommendations for future study are provided.

Resumo:

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in early childhood and adolescence and its consequences can persist through adulthood. It is characterized by continuous inattention and/or hyperactivity- impulsivity. Cognitive impairments are also associated with this disorder. The etiology of ADHD continues to be debated, although several contributing factors have been acknowledged, including diet and sleep. Several studies have analyzed the association between dietary patterns and ADHD. The common result is that unhealthy dietary patterns (i.e. high in saturated fat, refined sugars and low in fruits and vegetables) are associated with ADHD. Although the mechanisms linking low quality diet and ADHD are still unknown, an unbalanced diet, can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients or higher intakes of certain food components. For instance, low levels of serum iron, ferritin, and long-chain omega-3 seem to have a relationship with ADHD. Specifically, iron deficiency has been reported to be a possible risk factor in the pathophysiology of ADHD. However, to date, the results regarding the potential relationship between iron deficiency and ADHD have shown some inconsistency. On the other hand, sleep disturbances are particularly widespread in ADHD and they contribute to ADHD symptomatology. Moreover, there is evidence that suggest an additional and independent relationship between diet and sleep. The data on this topic are really scarce but associations between more sleep disturbance and higher intakes of carbohydrates, fat, and, most particularly, sugar have been reported. Serum iron levels and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid also seem to play a role in the sleep quality of children and adolescents with ADHD. Therefore, the aim of the present thesis project is to assess the possible relationship between our characteristic and healthy dietary pattern, the Mediterranean diet, and the incidence of ADHD. Moreover, the influence of the dietary intake and nutrient deficiencies in children and adolescents with ADHD on their behavioral symptoms and their cognitive abilities as well as their sleep quality will be also analyzed

Resumo:

Executive function deficits have been implicated in the difficulties experienced by children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Pennington & Ozonoff, 1996). In particular, impairments in inhibition and self-regulation have been reported (Barkley, 1997). In addition, many children with ADHD experience social difficulties (Barkley, 1998) and this may influence the generally poor long-term outcome experienced by many of these children (Taylor, Chadwick, Hepinstall & Danckarets, 1996). It is argued that the cognitive and social difficulties are not related. Problems with impulsive or disinhibited responding may disrupt the information processing system for socially relevant information. This study aims to investigate the association between executive function and social competence in everyday life in children with ADHD and compare their results to a control group. In addition, this study aims to investigate whether children with ADHD have emotion recognition deficits, in comparison to a control group. Twenty-one children with a diagnosis of ADHD and twenty-one children with no diagnosis of ADHD were assessed using a battery of executive function tasks and were asked to complete a questionnaire related to their social competence. In addition, parents and teachers were asked to complete two questionnaires regarding the child’s social competence in everyday life. This study found that children with ADHD performed equally well on executive function tasks, measuring inhibition and cognitive flexibility. However, there was a significant difference between the groups on measures of social competence. There was evidence of an association between the executive function tasks and social competence measures for the control group, but not the ADHD group. Children with ADHD performed as well as the control group on an emotion recognition task. It is argued that a decrease in disinhibited behaviour results in improved peer relationships (Barkley, 1990). However, the findings from this study contradict this hypothesis. It is suggested that earlier intervention and the provision of effective social skills training may help alleviate some of the difficulties experienced by individuals with ADHD.

The purpose of this study was to assess pediatric nurses' perceptions and knowledge base about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). One thousand five hundred and sixty research surveys were mailed to nurses that were active members of a national pediatric nursing organization. Surveys included a questionnaire, adapted from the ADHD Management Scale developed by Lobar & Phillips, and a demographic questionnaire (See Appendix C). Five hundred and fifty five nurses responded. T he adapted scale consisted of two parts that measure perception and knowledge of ADHD. Open-ended questions were asked about the diagnosis of ADHD, the use of Ritalin for ADHD, types of factors that may affect the course of hospitalization, and types of injuries to which ADHD children may be prone. ANOVA was applied to the data from the overall mean perception and knowledge scores to make comparisons among and between groups of pediatric nurses based on age, education, experience, and type of employment. The results of the study suggested that hospital-based nurses, nurses under the age of 40 years, and nurses with Associate and Bachelor degrees had more erroneous perceptions and minimal knowledge about ADHD, than the Masters and Doctoral degree nurses and the community and college based nurses.

Resumo:

The purpose of the current study was to explore the relationships between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, depression, and memory impairment in children. It was hypothesized that level of inattention would negatively correlated with performance on measures of visual-spatial short-term memory and verbal memory. Children with greater levels of depressive symptoms were predicted to perform more poorly than less depressed peers on effortful measures of verbal and visual short-term memory, measures of verbal working memory, and measures of verbal long-term memory recall. Results indicated that impaired performance on one measure of visual-spatial short-term memory was related to increased levels of inattention and depression. Impairments were found on measures of verbal long-term memory recall and recognition related to greater attention problems, hyperactivity, and depressive symptoms. These deficits remained significantly related to inattention and hyperactivity beyond a deficit in encoding verbal material.
