Credits: 1 CE Hour

Behavioral symptoms among individuals with ADHD arise from dysfunctions in cognitive mechanisms and allocation of resources (energetic mechanisms). The authors used a quasi-experimental design to identify impairments in executive functioning and resource allocation in 26 children with ADHD and 26 children without ADHD. Participants completed a computerized task requiring differentiation of images by type and size. Participants with ADHD had higher overall performance variability, and there were large effects for the differences between groups in overall variability and general amount of mixing costs. Differences were also observed for switching cost, as modified by compatibility, and a large effect was found for differences in mean rates of correct responding for compatible switching costs. The authors report that their results supported that overall resource allocation is affected in children with ADHD.

Course Description: Behavioral symptoms among individuals with ADHD arise from dysfunctions in cognitive mechanisms and allocation of resources (energetic mechanisms). The authors used a quasi-experimental design to identify impairments in executive functioning and resource allocation in 26 children with ADHD and 26 children without ADHD. Participants completed a computerized task requiring differentiation of images by type and size.

The authors report that their results supported that overall resource allocation is affected in children with ADHD.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Evaluate the theories of ADHD as being a dysfunction in cognitive processes and a dysfunction in allocation of resources
  2. Explain the patterns of results in the study in terms of differentiation of children with ADHD from children without ADHD
  3. Identify the implications of the results for the resource allocation model of ADHD

Course Outline:

  • Read and understand Impairments in resource allocation and executive control in children with ADHD.
  • Review the Course Description and Learning Objectives.
  • Review the results of the experiment in terms of performance on the tests.
  • Complete the post-test questions. Recall that answers should be based on the referenced article.
  • Return to the referenced article for any missed questions and/or to understand impairments in resource allocation among children with ADHD.
