Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The Groningen Effort Test (GET) shows promise as a performance validity test (PVT) for children and adolescents. It effectively identified valid and invalid performance, particularly in younger children, aiding neuropsychological assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Neuropsychological assessments in children require reliable performance validity testing (PVT).
  • Existing paediatric PVTs have limitations in assessing task engagement.
  • The Groningen Effort Test (GET) is an attention-based measure with potential for PVT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Groningen Effort Test (GET) as an attention-based performance validity test (PVT) in children and adolescents.
  • To compare GET performance with established PVTs like the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) and Reliable Digit Span (RDS).
  • To examine the influence of age and clinical status on GET performance.

Main Methods:

  • A simulation design study involving typically developing controls, instructed simulators, and outpatient referrals.
  • Participants aged 6-17 years completed the TOMM Trial-1, RDS, and GET.
  • Age-stratified cutoffs were used to analyze GET sensitivity and specificity.

    • Main Results:

    • GET performance improved with age, with outpatient referrals scoring lower than controls.
    • Age-stratified cutoffs demonstrated high specificity and strong sensitivity in children, comparable to TOMM and RDS.
    • Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses showed excellent accuracy in children and good to moderate accuracy in adolescents.

    Conclusions:

    • The Groningen Effort Test (GET) is a promising tool for paediatric performance validity testing.
    • GET demonstrates good accuracy in children, though sensitivity is reduced in adolescents.
    • Further clinical validation is recommended for the GET in paediatric populations.
