Psychogiou, Lamprini; Daley, Dave; Thompson, Margaret; Sonuga-Barke, Edmund – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2007
Mother and child ADHD symptoms both have a negative effect on parenting. Little is known about how these characteristics interact.

The aim of the current paper…

Across the three experiments, the pigeons either stayed in a terminal link until a reinforcer was…
