A test of the integrity of the components of Baddeley's model of the working memory in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted on the integrity of specific aspects of the working memory system in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) within the framework of Baddeley's model by testing children with and without ADHD on verbal and spatial working memory tasks. The study suggests that the children with ADHD were impaired primarily on the most difficult condition that required them to divide their attention between two tasks at the same time.

Larger deficits in brain networks for response inhibition than for visual selective attention in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Article Abstract:

Brain activation differences between 12 control and 12 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children (9-to 12-year-olds) are examined on two cognitive tasks during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The widespread hypoactivity for the ADHD children on the go/ no-go task is consistent with the hypothesis that response inhibition is a specific deficit in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Comparison of ADHD symptom subtypes as source-specific syndrome

Article Abstract:

The differences in the three subtypes of attention-deficit/hyper-activity disorder (ADHD), inattentive (I), hyperactive-impulse (H), and combined (C), in a heterogeneous sample of boys with emotional and behavioral problems are examined. The results revealed that teachers and mothers interpret symptom statements more on behavioral aspects that are encountered on an everyday basis.
