Maturation of brain white matter pathways is an important factor in cognitive, behavioral, emotional and motor development during childhood adolescence. In this study, we investigate maturation as reflected by changes anisotropy density with age. Thirty-four children adolescents aged 6-19 years received diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans. Among these, 30 also high-resolution T1-weighed anatomical A linear regression model was used to correlate fractional (FA) values age on a...
Objective: Neuroimaging studies show structural alterations of various brain regions in children and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), although nonreplications are frequent. The authors sought to identify cortical characteristics related ADHD using large-scale studies. Methods: Cortical thickness surface area (based on the Desikan–Killiany atlas) were compared between case subjects (N=2,246) control (N=1,934) for children, adolescents, separately ENIGMA-ADHD, a...
The Multimodal Treatment Study (MTA) began as a 14-month randomized clinical trial of behavioral and pharmacological treatments 579 children (7-10 years age) diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-combined type. It transitioned into an observational long-term follow-up 515 cases consented for continuation 289 classmates (258 without ADHD) added local normative comparison group (LNCG), assessments 2-16 after baseline.
The University of California, Irvine ADD Center recently conducted a synthesis the literature on use stimulants with children attention deficit disorder (ADD), using unique “review reviews” methodology. In this article, we compare three reviews from each review types (traditional, meta-analytic, general audience) and illustrate how coding variables can highlight sources divergence. general, divergent conclusions stemmed variations in goal rather than selected to review. Across quantitative...
Parent-teacher agreement on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom ratings ranges from low to moderate. Most studies evaluating parent-teacher have not assessed measurement invariance across raters. Hence, it is unclear whether discordance raters due differing ADHD constructs or other factors (e.g., subjective differences raters). Additionally, the effect of development relatively unknown. To address these limitations, present study used parent and teacher a large (N =...
Some studies have suggested alterations of structural brain asymmetry in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but findings been contradictory and based on small samples. Here, we performed the largest ever analysis left-right ADHD, using 39 datasets ENIGMA consortium.
Objective Cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) includes excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, and hypoactive behaviors that are distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder inattentive (ADHD-IN) symptoms. A growing number of studies indicate CDS symptoms may be associated with ratings social withdrawal. However, it is important to examine this association in children specifically recruited for the presence or absence CDS, incorporate multiple methods including direct...
Objective: Directed attention, the ability to allocate and direct attention toward a salient stimulus, is impaired in deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This construct often assessed with target detection or oddball tasks, individuals ADHD perform poorly on such tasks. However, date, specific brain structures neural mechanisms underlying dysfunction have not been identified. The authors' goal was investigate correlates of using event-related fMRI. Method: Behavioral activation data were...
Objective: Executive functioning is impaired in children with ADHD and putatively related to the pathogenesis of ADHD. The authors developed an innovative treatment teaching parents administer a metacognitive executive function training intervention children, promoting positive interactions during activities designed improve attention self-regulation. Method: A total 24 young their participated 8-week open trial assess feasibility initial efficacy. Results: feasible accepted by as shown high...
While neuropsychological deficits in both "hot" and "cool" executive functions (EFs) have been documented among individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), these EF are not universal across all this diagnosis. One potential moderator of dysfunction may be the presence comorbid oppositional defiant (ODD). This study examined association between EFs ODD children ADHD. Thirty-three ADHD (ADHD+ODD), 67 without (ADHD-ODD), 30 typically developing controls participated....
Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) symptoms are associated with social difficulties in children, though findings mixed and many studies have used global measures of impairment. The present study tested the hypothesis that SCT would be uniquely aspects functioning characterized by withdrawal isolation, whereas attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) oppositional defiant (ODD) inappropriate responding situations active peer exclusion. Participants were 158 children (70% boys) between 7–12...
Cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS), formerly termed sluggish cognitive tempo, is a set of symptoms characterized by excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, and slowed behavior/thinking. CDS distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) other psychopathologies uniquely associated with functional impairment. However, despite significant progress in developing evaluating rating scale measures CDS, no clinical interview exists established psychometric properties that can...
Using a within-subject design and both high- low-interest tasks, this study examined the effects of reward (R), response cost (RC), no contingency (NR) on performance motivation 22 children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) controls. Dependent variables included measures, self-rated motivation, new measure behavioral based 2-min postcontingency task. Both contingencies benefited some aspects ADHD children; relative to R, RC showed stronger but at expense decreased The...
