Processing Speed in Children With Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Inattentive Type

Weiler, Michael D., Bernstein, Jane Holmes, Bellinger, David C., Waber, Deborah P.·2000·Child Neuropsychology

Abstract

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is among the most common and most often reconceptualized neurobehavioral disorders of childhood. In the most recent DSM-IV, a primarily inattentive subtype of ADHD (AD) has again been identified. This study explores the neuropsychological profile of this group of children. Eighty-two children referred for school-related problems participated. Twenty-five met criteria for AD; 52 met criteria for reading disability (RD); 9 were comorbid for RD and AD. AD children performed poorly on measures of information processing speed. Children with comorbid AD/RD were distinguishable from those with RD on speed of processing measures only. Vulnerability to information processing load may be at the root of many of the behavioral manifestations of AD.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Inattention has been specifically associated with processing speed deficits when treated as a dimensional symptom, as well as with reading deficits.

    “Of note, inattention has been specifically associated with PS deficits when treated as a dimensional symptom, as well as reading deficits37–39.”
  • This study points to inattention as having the driving role in the relationships between ADHD presentations and PS deficits.

    “This study points to inattention as having the driving role in the relationships between ADHD presentations and PS deficits, supporting previous research highlighting inattention30–32,34,37.”

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.
