Sustained Attention and Pervasive Hyperactivity
Abstract
A sustained attention deficit is defined as a significant decrement in task performance with task duration (time-on-task). Time-on-task effects are reported using a self-paced paper and pencil cancellation test (PPCT) in normals and in subgroups of pervasively hyperactive children. The hyperactive subgroups were pervasively hyperactive both at home and at school. They differed in degree of pervasiveness in three laboratory conditions. Task inefficiency was most pronounced in the most pervasively hyperactive group. There was no evidence in favour of a sustained attention deficit in hyperactivity: no differences were found in decline in task efficiency between the controls and the subgroups of hyperactive children.

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.
