Yilin Huang; Yifan Liu; Qiong Hu; Qiong Zhang – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: To examine the manifestation of cognitive control deficit of children with different levels of hyperactivity, an "at risk" dimension for ADHD. Method: A group of children with high hyperactivity (N = 40) and another group of children with low levels of hyperactivity (N = 38) performed a modified stop-signal anticipation task,…

Rosch, Keri Shiels; Dirlikov, Benjamin; Mostofsky, Stewart H. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2013
Increased intrasubject variability (ISV), or short-term, within-person fluctuations in behavioral performance is consistently found in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is also associated with impairments in motor control, particularly in boys. The results of the few studies that have examined variability in self-generated…

Bezdjian, Serena; Baker, Laura A.; Lozano, Dora Isabel; Raine, Adrian – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2009
Behavioural performance in the Go/NoGo task was compared with caregiver and teacher reports of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity in 1,151 children (N = 557 boys; N = 594 girls) age 9-10 years old. Errors of commission (NoGo errors) were significantly correlated with symptom counts of hyperactivity-impulsivity, while errors of omission (Go…

Ketch, Karen M.; Brodeur, Darlene A.; McGee, Robin – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 2009
This study investigated the effects of response rate and attention focusing on performance of ADHD, clinical-control (CRNA) and non-clinical control children in response inhibition tasks. All children completed the "Go-NoGo" task, a computer-based task of attention and impulsivity. Focused attention on this task was manipulated using a priming…

Engelhardt, Paul E.; Ferreira, Fernanda; Nigg, Joel T. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2009
Theoretical accounts of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) posit a prominent role for problems in response inhibition (Nigg 2006). A key avenue for impulsivity in children with ADHD is inappropriate language expression. In this study, we sought to determine whether poor inhibitory control affects language production in adolescents and…

Foley, Marie; McClowry, Sandra Graham; Castellanos, Francisco X. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 2008
This study examined empirical and theoretical differences and similarities between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and child temperament in 32 ADHD children aged 6-11 years, and a comparison group of 23 children with similar sociodemographic characteristics. Children were assessed for ADHD symptoms (hyperactivity, impulsivity, and…

Lijffijt, M.; Bekker, E. M.; Quik, E. H.; Bakker, J.; Kenemans, J. L.; Verbaten, M. N. – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2004
Objective: The present study investigates whether there is an association between trait impulsivity in the normal population and inhibitory motor control as assessed by the stop task. Method: Low- and high-impulsive participants (as assessed by the I[subscript 7] questionnaire; both groups n = 31) performed the stop task. Differences in…

Shaw, Rebecca; Grayson, Andy; Lewis, Vicky – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2005
Contrary to empirical reports of inhibitory dysfunction in ADHD, parental reports suggest that when playing computer games, the inhibitory abilities of children with ADHD are unimpaired. This small-scale preliminary investigation into this phenomenon looks at inhibition of an ongoing response and activity exhibited by children with ADHD between 6…
