How adults understand what young children say
Children's early speech often bears little resemblance to that of adults, and yet parents and other caregivers are able to interpret that speech and react accordingly. Here we investigate how adult listeners' inferences reflect sophisticated beliefs about what children are trying to communicate, as well as how children are likely to pronounce words. Using a Bayesian framework for modelling spoken word recognition, we find that computational model…
Self-Directedness Positively Contributes to Resilience and Quality of Life: Findings From a Mixed Psychiatric Sample
Introduction: This study zoomed into the relation between self-regulation, resilience and quality of life (QOL) within a mixed psychiatric sample of patients with Dual-Diagnosis (DD) or an Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Method: Patients with DD or ASD participated and healthy control (HC) data were present. The Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS), Shortened Temperament and Character Inventory and Manchester Short Assessment o…

The Prevalence and Correlates of Adult ADHD in the United States: Results From the National Comorbidity Survey Replication
Objective: Despite growing interest in adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), little is known about its prevalence or correlates. Method: A screen for adult ADHD was included in a probability subsample (N=3,199) of 18–44-year-old respondents in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, a nationally representative household survey that used a lay-administered diagnostic interview to assess a wide range of DSM-IV disorders. Blind…
Behavioral inhibition, sustained attention, and executive functions: Constructing a unifying theory of ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) comprises a deficit in behavioral inhibition. A theoretical model is constructed that links inhibition to 4 executive neuropsychological functions that appear to depend on it for their effective execution: (a) working memory, (b) self-regulation of affect-motivation-arousal, (c) internalization of speech, and (d) reconstitution (behavioral analysis and synthesis). Extended to ADHD, the model predict…
Parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: Psychological and attentional impairment
Biological parents of ADHD children were compared with parents of nonclinical children on measures of psychological impairment and attentional performance. Parents of children with severe ADHD demonstrated greater impairment in social and psychological functioning. However, no significant differences were found on laboratory measures of sustained attention, memory, cognitive flexibility, encoding, or impulsivity. The possibility that parental adj…
The mother-child interactions of hyperactive boys and their normal siblings
The mother-child interactions of hyperactive boys and their normal siblings were compared during free play and tasks. Hyperactive boys were less compliant in both settings, and their mothers were less positive toward them during tasks and rated them as having more behavior problems at home than their normal siblings
Stimulant drugs and activity level in hyperactive children
This study of 14 hyperactive boys reports that activity and attention span appear to be affected by methylphenidate even in highly stimulating, informal settings. Comparison of the hyperactive boys with a group of 14 normal controls suggests that this drug induced reduction of activity and inattentiveness is not a "normalizing" effect. Implications of the findings are discussed
The behavioral symptoms of hyperkinetic children who successfully responded to stimulant drug treatment
Hyperkinetic children who successfully responded to drug treatment were compared with controls on a series of objective measures of activity and attentional problems. Although group differences were found on most measures, there were no indications that these children were more homogeneous in their behavioral symptoms than the hyperkinetic population in general
