Comprehensive evaluation of attention deficit disorder with and without hyperactivity as defined by research criteria.

Abstract

Children with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADD+H; N = 48) were compared with those without hyperactivity (ADD-H; N = 42), as well as with learning disabled and control children, on an extensive battery of interviews, behavior ratings, tests, and direct observations. ADD+H children had more externalizing and internalizing symptoms by parent and teacher report, were more off task during vigilance testing, and had more substance abuse, ADD+H, and aggression among their relatives than did the other groups. ADD-H children were more day-dreamy and lethargic by teacher report, more impaired in perceptual-motor speed, and had more anxiety disorders among their relatives than did ADD+H children. Results indicate that these 2 types of ADD may be separate, distinct childhood disorders rather than subtypes of a common attention deficit.

Conflitos conjugais e familiares e presença de transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH) na prole: revisão sistemática

“…Em um estudo com amostra epidemiológica, Szatmari et al (1989) demonstraram não haver mais relatos de problemas maritais entre pais de crianças portadores de TDAH, quando comparados a pais de controles normais. Barkley et al (1990) também não encon-Conflitos conjugais e familiares e TDAH na prole reVisão de literatura traram diferenças significativas entre famílias de portadores de TDAH e famílias de controles normais, de acordo com o auto-relato das mães, no que diz respeito à discórdia marital. Não foram encontrados índices aumentados de divórcios em pais de portadores de TDAH em diversos estudos (Barkley et al, 1991;Brown e Pacini, 1989;Faraone et al, 1991).…”

Behavioral parent training for Taiwanese parents of children with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder

“…12,[15][16][17] All three measures have adequate internal consistency and testretest reliability. [15][16][17][18] The HSQ also has adequate concurrent, predictive, and construct validity.…”

Time Perception: Does It Distinguish ADHD and RD Children in a Clinical Sample?

“…Continuous performance tasks can distinguish children with ADHD from normal children (Losier, McGrath, & Klein, 1996). However, studies involving clinical controls indicate that continuous performance tests do not reliably distinguish children with ADHD from other clinical groups (Barkley, DuPaul, & McMurray, 1990;Corkum & Siegel, 1993;Koriath, Gualtieri, Van Bourgondien, Quade, & Werry, 1985). In addition, children with RD tend to perform poorly on continuous performance tests (Eliason & Richman, 1987;Tarnowski, Prinz, & Nay, 1986).…”
