A Meta-Analytic Study of Event Rate Effects on Go/No-Go Performance in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Open accessAbstract
Background According to the state regulation deficit model, event rate (ER) is an important determinant of performance of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Fast ER is predicted to create overactivation and produce errors of commission, whereas slow ER is thought to create underactivation marked by slow and variable reaction times (RT) and errors of omission.Methods To test these predictions, we conducted a systematic search of the literature to identify all reports of comparisons of ADHD and control individuals' performance on Go/No-Go tasks published between 2000 and 2011. In one analysis, we included all trials with at least two event rates and calculated the difference between ER conditions. In a second analysis, we used metaregression to test for the moderating role of ER on ADHD versus control differences seen across Go/No-Go studies.Results There was a significant and disproportionate slowing of reaction time in ADHD relative to controls on trials with slow event rates in both meta-analyses. For commission errors, the effect sizes were larger on trials with fast event rates. No ER effects were seen for RT variability. There were also general effects of ADHD on performance for all variables that persisted after effects of ER were taken into account.Conclusions The results provide support for the state regulation deficit model of ADHD by showing the differential effects of fast and slow ER. The lack of an effect of ER on RT variability suggests that this behavioral characteristic may not be a marker of cognitive energetic effects in ADHD.

“The evidence of hypo-activation of the ANS during cognitive tasks described in this review is consistent with previous findings of greater RTV (Kofler et al., 2013) and response errors in ADHD, which are exacerbated when task stimuli are presented at a slower event rate (Metin et al., 2012).”

In the citing paper
“Further support for this comes from evidence of increased intra-individual reaction time variability (RTV) across a range of experimental paradigms (see Kofler et al., 2013, for a metaanalysis), particularly during monotonous cognitive tasks (Metin et al., 2012).”

In the citing paper
“The findings of ANS hypoarousal are also consistent with evidence of poorer performance when cognitive tasks have a slow event rate (Metin et al., 2012;Wiersema et al., 2006) and suggest that lower ANS activity may be one factor that contributes to poorer performance of people with ADHD when tasks require sustained attention and response regulation.”

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.
