Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

675
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....

Working Memory01:24

Working Memory

723
Working memory refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow an individual to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks. It is an essential cognitive function that enables the execution of complex tasks such as problem-solving, comprehension, and reasoning. Unlike short-term memory, which simply involves the storage of information for a brief period, working memory involves the active manipulation and processing of this...

Information Processing Approach

427
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...

This summary is machine-generated.

Adaptive working memory training (WMT) improved attention in adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This cognitive training partially restored selective attention processes, showing potential as a therapeutic approach for ADHD.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neuropsychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by working memory deficits and impaired decision-making, often linked to difficulties inhibiting irrelevant sensory input.
  • Inattentive symptoms in ADHD can lead to poor decision-making processes and increased risk-taking behavior, particularly when faced with extraneous information.
  • This study investigates how working memory training (WMT) difficulty influences attentional control in a probabilistic gambling task for individuals with and without ADHD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the hypothesis that the difficulty level of working memory training (WMT) impacts the top-down modulation of attentional processes.
  • To examine the effects of adaptive versus fixed difficulty WMT on event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with decision-making in ADHD adults and controls.
  • To identify potential neural markers of attentional improvement following WMT in ADHD.

Main Methods:

  • Young adults with ADHD and matched controls underwent 20 days of dual n-back WMT.
  • Participants were randomly assigned to either a fixed baseline difficulty or a performance-dependent adaptive difficulty training condition.
  • Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded before and after training during a probabilistic gambling task, focusing on differences in specific time windows and electrode sites.

Main Results:

  • In ADHD participants, adaptive WMT partially restored the P1 wave component at frontal sites, bringing it closer to control levels.
  • Control participants showed a stronger contrast at parietal sites with left hemispheric dominance around 900 ms after baseline training compared to adaptive training.
  • Significant differences in ERPs before and after training were observed, particularly in the P1 component for ADHD and parietal activity for controls.

Conclusions:

  • High-load WMT, particularly adaptive training, may partially restore early selective attentional processes in individuals with ADHD.
  • Changes in frontal site activity following adaptive WMT could serve as a neural marker for improved attention in ADHD during gambling tasks.
  • In controls, increased late parietal negativity after baseline WMT might indicate enhanced transfer effects to fluid intelligence.
