Autonomic responses in boys with externalizing disorders

Abstract

Objective Autonomous hyporesponsiveness in children appears to be an indicator of a greater future likelihood of antisocial behavior. Since externalizing disorders are suggested to implicate a risk of antisocial behavior in later life, psychophysiological measurements were assessed commonly used in the realm of antisocial behavior.Method Arousal measures and electrodermal responses to orienting and startling stimuli were assessed in 8-13 year old boys diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder (CD), the comorbid condition of ADHD+CD, and in controls. The eyeblink response to startling stimuli was also recorded.Results Children with CD and ADHD+CD showed decreased electrodermal responses and accelerated habituation in all paradigms compared to children with ADHD alone and controls.Conclusion CD boys with and without ADHD showed a widely analogous response pattern which is highly similar to that found in antisocial adults. Data suggest that it is CD that sharply rises the risk of unfavorable, antisocial development, whether it occurs alone or comorbid with ADHD.

  • Herpertz et al. (2001;2003) found reduced skin conductance responses (SCRs) and delayed habituation of SCRs to auditory tones during a passive attention task, but this effect was only significant when comparing children with ADHD + CD to typical controls; no differences were found between controls and children with ADHD-only.

    “The studies of Herpertz et al. (2001;2003), described in paragraphs 3.1.1and 3.1.2,similarly found reduced skin conductance responses (SCRs) and delayed habituation of SCRs to auditory tones during a passive attention task, but this effect was only significant when comparing children with ADHD + CD to typical controls (no differences were found between controls and children with ADHD-only).”
  • Three of the EDA studies reporting hypo-activation of the ANS in ADHD used either passive and/or active auditory attention tasks.

    “Of the studies reporting hypo-activation of the ANS, three used either passive and/or active auditory attention tasks (Herpertz et al., 2001(Herpertz et al., , 2003;;Shibagaki et al., 1993).”

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.
