Evidence for an Error Monitoring Deficit in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Abstract

We studied error monitoring in ADHD and control children in a task requiring inhibition of a motor response. The extent of slowing following successful (stopped) and failed (nonstopped) inhibition was compared across groups. We also measured the time required to inhibit a response (stop signal reaction time, SSRT). Compared to controls, ADHD participants slowed less following nonstopped responses. Slowing did not vary with comorbid reading, oppositional, conduct or anxiety disorder, sex or ADHD subtype. Slowing after nonstopped responses was marginally, although significantly correlated with total ADHD symptoms and with age. ADHD participants had significantly longer SSRT than controls, but SSRT was not significantly correlated with slowing. The apparent deficit in error monitoring in ADHD and its independence from the inhibition deficit observed in ADHD has implications for executive control models of ADHD, performance problems associated with the disorder and for component theories of executive control.

  • Children with ADHD show impaired error monitoring and a lack of characteristic post-error slowing in inhibitory response tasks.

  • Many studies indicate that people also alter response strategies reactively after stop-signal trials.

    “Many studies suggest that subjects also change response strategies reactively after stop-signal trials [8–11].”

  • Some studies show that go RT increases after unsuccessful inhibition, similar to post-error slowing in choice reaction tasks.

    “Some show that go RT increases after unsuccessful inhibition, reminiscent of the post-error slowing observed in choice reaction tasks.”

    From Response inhibition in the stop-signal paradigm (2008) · cites this paper as [9]

  • Other studies show that go RT increases after successful stopping, which is not consistent with error correction but suggests a shift in priority toward the stop task after a stop signal.

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.
