Family psychiatric history evidence on the nosological relations of DSM-IV ADHD combined and inattentive subtypes: New data and meta-analysis
Article Abstract:
Nosology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is studied to find out if Dsm-IV combined (ADHD-C) and primarily inattentive (ADHD-PI) subtypes are in fact distinct disorders or instead are closely related, differing only in severity. A distinct subtype model of the relation between ADHD-C and ADHD-PI is studied and it is suggested that these are partially overlapping conditions with some notable etiological distinction between them.

Deficient attention is hard to find: Applying the perceptual load model of selective attention to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder subtypes
Article Abstract:
The perceptual load paradigm is used to examine early and late selective attention in children with the Primarily Inattentive (ADHD-I) and Combined subtypes (ADHD-C) of ADHD. No evidence emerges for selective attention deficits in either of the subtype, though sluggish cognitive pace is associated with abnormal early selection.
