Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The Iowa Gambling Task is a neuropsychological task developed in English, most widely used to assess decision-making. The aim of this work was to adapt the Iowa Gambling Task to Brazilian Portuguese, compare it with the original version and assess its validity. METHOD: We assessed 75 Brazilian adults divided into three groups: 1) 25 healthy volunteers holding the Proficiency Certificate in English tested using the English version of the Iowa Gambling Task; 2) 25 healthy volunteers who did not speak or read English tested using the Iowa Gambling Task-Portuguese; 3) 25 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder subjects tested with the Iowa Gambling Task-Portuguese. RESULTS: No difference between groups 1 and 2 was observed. Nonetheless, we found significant differences between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder subjects and the other 2 groups on blocks 3, 4, 5, and on net score. CONCLUSION: Our results are similar to those previously described in the literature concerning adults without neuropsychiatric diseases. Since those two versions were equivalent and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder subjects performed significantly worse than healthy volunteers we can conclude that the adaptation of the Iowa Gambling Task to Brazilian Portuguese is valid and can be used for research purposes in the Brazilian context.

  • Eight studies used implicit gambling tasks, of which two (25%) provided clear evidence that adults with ADHD performed in a more risky fashion than NCs.

    “Eight studies used implicit gambling tasks, of which two studies (2/8 = 25%) provided clear evidence that adults with ADHD performed in a more risky fashion than NCs [62], [63].”
  • Malloy-Diniz et al. examined two different samples of adults with ADHD and found that in comparison to NCs, adults with ADHD obtained a lower net score on the standard IGT (Cohen's d = 0.79 and 0.70).

    “Specifically, Malloy-Diniz et al. [62], [63] examined two different samples of adults with ADHD and found that in comparison to NCs, adults with ADHD obtained a lower net score on the standard IGT (Cohen’s d respectively = 0.79 and 0.70).”
  • Of six studies investigating adults with ADHD on the IGT, two reported that adults with ADHD clearly performed in a more risky manner than NCs.

    “Of the six studies investigating the performance of adults with ADHD on the IGT [59]–[64], two studies reported that adults with ADHD clearly performed in a more risky manner than the NCs [62], [63].”
  • Three studies found that individuals with ADHD-C had performed in a more risky fashion than the NCs.

    “Furthermore, three studies found that individuals with ADHD-C had performed in a more risky fashion than the NCs [35], [47], [63] (3/10 = 30% of studies with positive findings).”
  • Group differences between ADHD participants and NCs were present in 2/10 (20%) of studies with positive findings in which participants were MPH-naïve.

    “in which participants were MPH-naïve [62], [63] (2/10 = 20% of studies with positive findings)”

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.
