Objective: Many studies have linked the structure and function of frontostriatal circuitry to cognitive control deficits in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Few examined role white matter tracts between these structures or extent which tract myelination regularity correlate family members with disorder. Method: Functional imaging maps from a go/nogo task were used identify portions ventral prefrontal cortex striatum involved suppressing an inappropriate action (i.e., control)...
Several studies have documented fronto-striatal dysfunction in children and adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using response inhibition tasks. Our objective was to examine functional brain abnormalities among youths adults ADHD the relations between these neurobiological stimulant medication.A group of concordantly diagnosed parent-child dyads compared a matched sample normal dyads. In addition, were administered double-blind methylphenidate placebo...
This study examined the efficacy of Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) in treating oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) youth by comparing this novel treatment to Parent Management Training (PMT), a well-established treatment, and waitlist control (WLC) group. One hundred thirty-four (ages 7–14, 61.9% male, 83.6% White) who fulfilled Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (4th ed.) criteria for ODD were randomized CPS, PMT, or WLC groups. was assessed with semistructured...
This study examined ADHD and sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) symptoms in relation to self-report laboratory measures of neuropsychological functioning college students.College students ( N = 298, aged 17-25, 72% female) completed self-reports ADHD, SCT, depression, sleep, functional impairment, executive (EF). Participants also a visual working memory task, Stroop test, the Conners' Continuous Performance Test-II (CPT-II).ADHD inattentive SCT were strong predictors self-reported EF, with...
The current study examined attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety symptoms in relation to self-reported executive functioning deficits emerging adults. College students (N = 421; ages 17-25; 73.1% female) completed self-reports of ADHD, anxiety, a laboratory setting. Structural equation modeling analyses revealed that were significantly related all 3 symptom domains. Executive most strongly inattention followed by hyperactivity/impulsivity anxiety. Analyses based on...

Objective: The following comorbid subgroups of ADHD have been proposed: Only, + anxiety disorders (ANX), oppositional defiant disorder/conduct disorder (ODD/CD), and ODD/CD ANX. current study examined a subset these groups. Method: A total 134 children adolescents ( M age = 9.92; range 6-17) from clinic-referred sample n 407) were grouped based on semistructured diagnostic interview: only 41), ANX 31), Only 62). Results: Findings supported greater parent-reported symptoms in groups, parent-...
The present study evaluated a 10-week psychosocial treatment designed specifically for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and comorbid anxiety disorder.Using nonconcurrent multiple baseline design, the authors treated 8 ages 8-12 ADHD, combined type, at least 1 of 3 major disorders (separation disorder, generalized social phobia). integrated protocol involved parent management training ADHD family-based cognitive-behavioral therapy anxiety. Pretreatment assessments...
Objective: We compared clinic-referred youth with ADHD + sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT; n = 34), Only (n 108), and SCT 22) on demographics, co-occurring symptomatology, comorbid diagnoses, social functioning. Method: In total, 164 (age 6-17 years, M 9.97) their parent(s) presented to an outpatient clinic for a psychoeducational assessment. Between-group analyses regressions were used examine study variables. Results: groups older exhibited more parent-reported internalizing problems,...
Despite the importance of daily life executive functioning (EF) for college students' success, few measures exist that have been validated in students specifically. This study examined factor structure Barkley Deficits Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS) students. Participants were 1,311 (ages 18-28 years, 65% female) from five universities United States. Additionally, invariance across sex, age, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms. Exploratory structural equation modeling...
Objective: Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT), characterized by lethargy and daydreaming, has most commonly been studied in community samples youth with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Despite shared neurodevelopmental symptoms ADHD, few studies have investigated SCT Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The current study ASD, comorbid ASD+ADHD to explore the relations between global social impairment.Method: Caregivers of children adolescents (n = 98; ages 6-17) diagnosed ADHD 46),...
Abstract Objectives The current study investigated whether a maladaptive family environment would moderate the strength of relations sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) to attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder inattention (ADHD‐IN) and depressive symptoms in large sample college students. Methods Participants ( n = 3,172), between ages 18–29 M ± SD age 19.24 1.52; 69.8% women; 80.4% White) enrolled five universities United States completed self‐report measures symptomatology, interparental...
Intervention and prevention programs for children with externalizing problems frequently involve co-occurring internalizing problems. Little is known about how these predict outcomes, particularly involving cognitive-behavioral strategies. The current study examined a set of child-related risk factors (including anxiety depressive symptoms) predicted change in parent- teacher-reported following school-based preventative intervention at Participants included 112 preadolescent (ages 9-12) who...
