Raiker, Joseph S.; Rapport, Mark D.; Kofler, Michael J.; Sarver, Dustin E. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2012
Impulsivity is a hallmark of two of the three DSM-IV ADHD subtypes and is associated with myriad adverse outcomes.

Dhar, Monica; Been, Pieter H.; Minderaa, Ruud B.; Althaus, Monika – Neuropsychologia, 2010
Twenty male adults with ADHD, 16 dyslexic adults, 15 comorbid adults, and 16 normal controls were compared on performance and underlying brain responses, during a cued Continuous Performance Test (O-X CPT), with the aim of discovering features of information processing differentiating between the groups. The study evaluated both cue- and…
