Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

684
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....

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

584
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Modeling in Therapy

342
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...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Theories of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often focus on deficits in controlled processes and executive function.
  • The precise role of automatic and controlled attention in ADHD remains a subject of ongoing debate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate automatic and controlled attention in children diagnosed with ADHD.
  • To compare attentional processes in children with ADHD against typically developing (TD) peers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Block-Formed Multi-Source Interference Task (MSIT).
  • Assessed performance in both incongruent and congruent conditions.
  • Included 20 children with ADHD-Inattentive (ADHD-I), 20 with ADHD-Combined (ADHD-C), and 20 typically developing (TD) children.

Main Results:

  • Children with ADHD (both subtypes) demonstrated poorer performance on the MSIT compared to TD children.
  • Performance deficits were observed in both incongruent and congruent task conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Children with ADHD exhibit impairments in both automatic and controlled attentional processes.
  • These findings suggest a broader deficit in attention beyond executive function in ADHD.
  • The study highlights the need to consider both automatic and controlled attention when understanding ADHD.
