Hyperactive Children Have Grown Up: What Have We Learned About What Happens to Them?
Abstract
Hyperactive" children have been with us for a number of years. The problems they present with have gone by labels such as the hyperkinetic reaction, the hyperactive child syndrome, minimal brain dysfunction, and, more recently, attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADDH). Since the seminal studies of Bradley in the late 1930s, a voluminous literature on this syndrome has developed, and many of the children who participated in early investigations have grown up and their cases have been reinvestigated. What have these follow-up studies taught us? THEORETIC FORMULATIONS One of the earliest theories about outcome of this syndrome was that it was a maturational or developmental lag in which children were on the right track but just moving at a slower pace. Implicit in this viewpoint was that the syndrome would eventually disappear by adolescence. A second theory postulated that the core symptoms would persist in a significant number of individuals

Developmental research on adult ADHD has been limited to two designs, each with a shortcoming that limits inference about childhood origins of adult ADHD.
“A test is lacking because developmental research on adult ADHD has been limited to two designs, each with a shortcoming that limits inference about childhood origins of adult ADHD(2).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
