“…These studies have shown inconsistent abnormalities in frontal lobe activation and frontostriatal dysfunction in children, adolescents and adults with ADHD during inhibitory control tasks. [28][29][30] Other studies have reported more global dysfunction of brain activation in children with ADHD. 31 Other areas of attention deficit research CPT tests have also been used widely in different areas of attention deficit research, such as EEG alpha asymmetry, event-related potentials, EEG-vigilance, EEG complexities, the cortisol response to stress, effects of lead poisoning, effects of prenatal smoking, effects of Caesarean section birth, and other environmental aetiological factors.…”

Diagnosis of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is traditionally based on subjective assessments of behaviour by clinicians and carers in different settings, but this approach is prone to biases. Recent advances in computerised continuous performance task (CPT) tests have greatly improved their clinical utility in ADHD. In this article, the authors review the history of computerised CPT tests and their potential role in the diagnosis and management of children and adolescents with ADHD.

The debate about diagnoses and treatment of attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) in children continue to range on between the developmental and biological perspectives. While there is increasing evidence that support the biological susceptibility of ADHD, a number of researches also emphasized the significant effect of environmental factors on the syndrome. This study used developmental perspectives to evaluate and bring together various bio-psychosocial factors that impact on development of children diagnosed with ADHD. To achieve this the study critically explored and integrated the existing and advancing study on ADHD to a more refined pattern that embraced developmental perspectives by organizing into sections; the clinical and social factors that associated with children diagnosed with ADHD. Also the study discussed how linkage in childhood ADHD fits within a developmental psychopathology perspective. Finally, the study revealed ADHD as a developmental disorder influenced by prenatal, biological and psychosocial environmental risk factors, and that better understanding of genomic susceptibilities, family environment, parental characteristics, and children's experiences can transform the pathway for its development in children

“…Since then, although inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity have been the object of numerous categorizations and conceptualizations (Baumeister & Hawkins, 2001), brain anomalies have remained at the core of etiological models of the disorder. Researchers have sought to confirm the biological roots of ADHD using a variety of methods, such as behavioral and molecular genetics, neuropsychology, drug challenges, and investigation of environmental factors likely to affect brain structure and functioning.…”
