Abstract

The development of inattentiveness and hyperactivity in middle childhood was investigated using a prospective longitudinal approach. Endogenous and exogenous predictors measured in infancy and in early and middle childhood were examined independently and in combination. In early childhood, quality of caregiving more powerfully predicted distractibility, an early precursor of hyperactivity, than did early biological or temperament factors. Caregiving and contextual factors together with early distractibility significantly predicted hyperactivity in middle childhood. While environmental variables also predicted hyperactivity in later elementary years, these factors did not improve the prediction beyond the influence of hyperactivity in early elementary years. The findings support a developmental view of the origins and course of hyperactivity in childhood, that is, that the emergence and persistence of AD/HD symptoms depend on developmental history along with current circumstances.

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

  • Modest correlations (0.10-0.37) are reported between infantile temperamental characteristics such as being fussy, angry, or difficult to control, and ADHD arising later in childhood.

    “Modest correlations (0.10-0.37) are reported between infantile temperamental characteristics such as being fussy, angry, or difficult to control, and ADHD arising later in childhood (58-62) (Figure 2 and Supplemental Table 2).”

  • Intrusive caregiving measured at age 6 months predicted hyperactivity in early and middle childhood.

    “In terms of the potential link between harmful input and ADHD, there is evidence that intrusive caregiving measured at age 6 months predicted hyperactivity in early and middle childhood (Carlson et al, 1995).”

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.
