The Development of State Regulation in Normal Children: An Indirect Comparison With Children With ADHD
Abstract
The goal of this study was to evaluate the developmental trajectory of response inhibition and state regulation in 60 nonreferred boys ranking in age from 7 to 12 years. For this purpose, we used a go-no go test that was derived from Sanders's (1983) theory of state regulation. In this test, go-no go stimuli were presented on a monitor with a presentation rate of 1 sec (fast condition), 4 sec (medium condition), or 8 sec (slow condition). In accordance with Sanders's theory, we hypothesized that, if state regulation develops in the elementary school years, then the youngest age group (7 and 8 years) would demonstrate poor impulse control, particularly in the fast and slow conditions, in which state regulation was assumed to be essential. Our hypothesis was supported. Findings reflected a developmental course in state regulation in the elementary school years. We discuss the clinical impact of the results with reference to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The ISI effect on RT performance diminishes as a function of age, is independent of IQ level, and differentiates at the group level between ADHD and aggressive behaviour problems such as conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder.
“The ISI effect on RT performance diminishes as a function of age (van der Meere and Stemerdink, 1999), is independent of IQ level (van der Meere and van der Meere, 2004), and differentiates at the group level between ADHD and aggressive behaviour problems such as conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder (van der Meere et al., 2005).”

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.
