“…In one study (Kolko et al, 1999), medication was superior to BPI in an unstructured enrichment setting (ES ¼ À.3.39), whereas other studies indicated a benefit of BPI over medication in recreational settings (ES ¼ 2.56, Reitman et al, 2001;ES ¼ 5.71, Hupp et al, 2002).…”

Pelham, Wheeler, and Chronis (1998) reviewed the treatment literature on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and concluded behavioral parent training (BPT) and behavioral classroom management (BCM) were well-established treatments for children with ADHD. This review updates and extends the finding of the prior review. Studies conducted since the 1998 review were identified and coded based on standard criteria, and effect sizes were calculated where appropriate. The review reinforces the conclusions of Pelham, Wheeler, and Chronis regarding BPT and BCM. Further, the review shows that intensive peer-focused behavioral interventions implemented in recreational settings (e.g., summer programs) are also well-established. The results of this update are discussed in the context of the existing treatment literature on ADHD. Implications for practice guidelines are suggested, as are directions for future research.

“…The main mechanism of the RCT training is improvement of abilities for self-control (Gerber et al 2011;Northup et al 1999;Pelham et al 1997;Reitman et al 2001;Tamm and Carlson 2007). The training consists of four units of 30 min each during which patients with ADHD are instructed to perform arithmetic tasks and write a dictation.…”

“…There is increasing evidence that the RCT approach is effective in the treatment of ADHD. In previous studies, RCT treatment programs were able to reduce symptoms of ADHD and improve neuropsychological performance (Northup et al 1999;Pelham et al 1997;Reitman et al 2001;Tamm and Carlson 2007). Recently, we applied the RCT approach within the scope of summer camp training in children with ADHD and demonstrated that the RCT training improved the clinical course of ADHD at 2 years follow-up, reduced performance variability and improved attention in these patients, as well as positively influenced their quality of life (Gerber et al 2011;Toussaint et al 2011).…”

Behavioural Treatment Increases Activity in the Cognitive Neuronal Networks in Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

et al. 2012

Response cost and token approach (RCT) within the scope of a summer camp training is an effective treatment program for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is likely that intensive RCT training influences networks responsible for ADHD symptoms. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was carried out in 12 children with ADHD before and after the RCT program and in 12 healthy control children twice. For fMRI, a Go/No-go paradigm was used to investigate the influence of RCT training on attention and impulsivity. The No-go condition revealed only weak activation in the dorsal part of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), parietal and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) before the training in children with ADHD compared to healthy children. However, this activation in these brain regions was significantly more pronounced after the training. This increase in hemodynamic response cannot be attributed merely to repetition of the measurement since the effect was not observed in healthy children. The increase in hemodynamic response in the ACC and right DLPFC was significantly associated with a reduction in response time variability and clinical symptoms in ADHD patients. After the RCT training, the children with ADHD demonstrated more pronounced activation of cortical structures which are typically related to response monitoring and self-control. It seems likely that children with ADHD learned more cognitive control in a continuous performance task as was revealed by both neuropsychological outcome and fMRI.

“…With notable exceptions, only a few studies have examined use of stimulant medication with young children engaged in recreational activities (Pelham et al, 1990(Pelham et al, , 1999Reitman et al, 2001). As would likely occur in outpatient treatment, medication dosages were determined based on response to academic tasks.…”

Five children diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder participated in a summer program designed to evaluate behavioral and pharmacological treatments in a recreational setting. The effect of a contingency for increased sportsmanlike behavior, with and without the use of tokens, was examined during kickball games. The influence of stimulant medication was also examined for 3 of the children. A multiple-baseline, reversal design revealed that a delayed reward condition did not increase sportsmanlike behavior, whereas the addition of tokens (and praise) to the delayed reward increased sportsmanlike behavior for all 5 participants. Stimulant medication appeared to have very little influence on sportsmanlike behavior. Future directions for behavioral social skills interventions using a sports skills model are also discussed.
