Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

90
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....

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

116
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...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

43
A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Behavior Modification01:21

Behavior Modification

199
Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

121
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

80
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...

Do Externalizing and Internalizing Symptoms Moderate Medication Response in Preschool Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

For preschool children with ADHD, lower externalizing (EXT) or internalizing (INT) symptoms predict a better response to stimulant (STIM) medication. Response rates for STIM and alpha-2 adrenergic agonists (A2As) are similar in children with higher EXT or INT symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Child Psychiatry
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is common in preschoolers.
  • Stimulant (STIM) medications and alpha-2 adrenergic agonists (A2As) are frequently used to treat ADHD in young children.
  • Predicting medication response in preschool ADHD is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if parent-reported ADHD symptom severity, externalizing symptoms (EXT), or internalizing symptoms (INT) moderate treatment response to STIM and A2As in preschoolers with ADHD.
  • To identify specific symptom profiles that predict differential medication response.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 309 children under 72 months with ADHD treated with medication.
  • Analysis of parent rating scale data for ADHD symptom severity, EXT, and INT.
  • Ordinal logistic regression models used to predict medication response based on symptom severity and medication class.

Main Results:

  • ADHD symptom severity did not predict medication response.
  • Both EXT and INT symptoms moderated response, with significant interactions by medication class.
  • Children with higher EXT or INT symptoms were less likely to respond to STIM compared to A2As.
  • Response rates to STIM and A2As became more similar as EXT and INT symptom levels increased.

Conclusions:

  • In preschool ADHD, low EXT or INT symptom ratings are associated with a higher likelihood of response to STIM medications.
  • Treatment response to STIM and A2As shows similar patterns for children with high levels of EXT or INT symptoms.
  • These findings can help guide personalized medication selection for preschoolers with ADHD based on their symptom profiles.
