Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.
Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is also...
Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Adler's Individual Psychology01:28

Adler's Individual Psychology

Alfred Adler, a prominent figure in psychology, founded the school of individual psychology. In contrast to Freud's emphasis on sexual or aggressive motives, Adler suggested that individuals are primarily motivated by their purposes and goals. He believed that people strive for perfection rather than pleasure. Adler argued that individuals could creatively act upon their genetic inheritance and environmental experiences to shape their own lives, emphasizing conscious motivation over unconscious...
Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in situations...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often exhibit challenges in cognitive strategy selection.
  • Difficulties in strategy selection can negatively impact academic performance, particularly in mathematics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate strategy selection differences in computational estimation between children with ADHD and typically developing controls.
  • To examine the impact of ADHD on the ability to choose the most effective rounding strategy for mathematical tasks.

Main Methods:

  • A computational estimation task involving two-digit addition problems was administered.
  • Fourth- and fifth-grade children with ADHD symptoms and matched controls were compared on strategy selection and execution.

Main Results:

  • While both groups could execute chosen strategies, children with ADHD selected the optimal strategy less frequently than controls.
  • ADHD children required more time for estimation and produced less accurate results.
  • Predictors of strategy selection differed between the ADHD and control groups.

Conclusions:

  • ADHD is associated with impaired strategy selection in cognitive tasks, contributing to poorer performance in areas like mathematical estimation.
  • Understanding these strategy deficits is crucial for addressing cognitive performance differences in children with ADHD.
