Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.2K
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

684
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...

Modeling in Therapy

627
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 involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

578
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Child Psychiatry

Background:

  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is linked to executive function (EF) deficits, impacting academic and occupational success.
  • Early intervention targeting EF impairments is crucial for mitigating long-term negative outcomes in children with ADHD.
  • Cognitive training presents a potential non-pharmacological treatment avenue for ADHD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a cognitive training program designed to enhance multiple EF components in children with ADHD.
  • To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the EF training program, incorporating parent support for daily life application.
  • To explore the impact of EF training on both neuropsychological measures and real-world behavioral reports in children with ADHD.

Main Methods:

  • Forty-four school-aged children diagnosed with ADHD and their parents participated in a 12-week EF training program (12 sessions).
  • Neuropsychological tests (e.g., Stroop, Rey-Osterrieth, Trail Making Test, Tower of Hanoi, False-Belief Task) and parent/teacher rating scales (e.g., ADHD Rating Scale-IV, Conners', BRIEF) were used for assessment.
  • Statistical analyses included paired sample t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, and multivariate analysis to compare pre- and post-intervention performance and group differences.

Main Results:

  • Children with ADHD showed significant improvements in EF performance on both neuropsychological tests and daily life reports after the intervention.
  • Post-training EF performance in children with ADHD matched the levels observed in healthy controls.
  • Significant reductions in ADHD symptoms and behavioral problems were reported by parents following the EF training program.

Conclusions:

  • The EF training program demonstrated feasibility and acceptability among children with ADHD and their parents.
  • The intervention, focusing on multiple EF components with parent involvement, shows promise for improving EF and reducing ADHD symptoms.
  • Further research with larger samples and active control groups is recommended to validate these findings.
