A Neuropsychological Examination of the Underlying Deficit in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Frontal Lobe Versus Right Parietal Lobe Theories.

Aman, Christine J.; Roberts, Ralph J., Jr.; Pennington, Bruce F.

Developmental Psychology, v34 n5 p956-69 Sep 1998

Examined front and right parietal lobe theories of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); subjects were 10- to 14-year-old boys with or without ADHD. Found that non-ADHD boys performed better on frontal- and parietal-domain tasks than unmedicated ADHD boys, unmedicated AHDH boys had greater impairments on frontal than parietal tasks, and medicated ADHD boys performed better than unmedicated ADHD boys.
