Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

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....

Modeling in Therapy

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...

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

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.

Information Processing Approach

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...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Background:

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder.
Complex ADHD, involving co-occurring emotional and learning difficulties, presents unique challenges.
Adolescent driving is a critical developmental milestone with significant safety implications.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare driving skills, executive functions, and adaptive behavior in adolescents with complex ADHD versus those without ADHD.
To investigate the relationship between executive functions and driving performance in adolescents with complex ADHD.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional study design.
Inclusion of 30 adolescents with complex ADHD and 33 adolescents without ADHD (aged 15-18).
Assessment of driving skills using a simulator, alongside evaluations of executive functions and adaptive behavior.

Main Results:

Adolescents without ADHD exhibited significantly better driving simulator performance.
In the complex ADHD group, driving simulator scores showed partial correlations with executive functions, even after controlling for behavioral ratings.

Conclusions:

Adolescents with complex ADHD demonstrate impaired driving skills and executive functions.
The findings highlight the need for specialized intervention programs to enhance driving safety for this population.
