Children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) choose smaller sooner (SS) over larger later (LL) rewards more than controls. Here we assess the contributions of impulsive drive for immediate (IDIR) and delay aversion (DAv) to this pattern. We also explore characteristics of, degree familiality in, ADHD SS responders. had 360 probands; 349 siblings 112 controls (aged between 6 17 years) chose (1 point after 2 s) LL reward (2 points 30 outcomes on Maudsley Index Delay Aversion...
ABSTRACT Background Reaction time (RT) variability is one of the strongest findings to emerge in cognitive-experimental research attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We set out confirm association between ADHD and slow variable RTs investigate degree which RT performance improves under fast event rate incentives. Using a group familial correlation approach, we tested hypothesis that there are shared effects on ADHD. Method A total 144 combined-type probands, 125 siblings probands...
Low serotonergic (5-HT) activity correlates with increased impulsive-aggressive behavior, while the opposite association may apply to cognitive impulsiveness. Both types of impulsivity are associated attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and genes functional significance for 5-HT system implicated in this disorder. Here we demonstrate separation aggressive components from symptom ratings test their functionally related using a family-based (FBAT-PC).Our sample consisted 1180...
Abstract Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a discrete clinical syndrome characterized by the triad of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in context marked impairments. Molecular genetic studies have been successful identifying variants associated with ADHD, particularly DSM‐IV inattentive combined subtypes. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) approaches to linkage association mapping yet be widely used ADHD research, although twin investigating individual differences...
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common and highly heritable child psychiatric disorders. There strong evidence that children with ADHD show slower more variable responses in tasks such as Go/Nogo tapping aspects executive functions like sustained attention response control which may be modulated by motivational factors and/or state-regulation processes. The aim this study was (1) to determine if these constitute an endophenotype for ADHD; (2) investigate...

Diagnostic guidelines recommend using a variety of methods to assess and diagnose ADHD. Applying subjective measures always incorporates risks such as informant biases or large differences between ratings obtained from diverse sources. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that tests seem somewhat different constructs. The use objective might thus yield valuable information for diagnosing This study aims at evaluating the role when trying distinguish individuals with ADHD controls. Our...
