Daily behavioral report cards (DRC) are an efficacious intervention for children with ADHD, yet there is little information on Latinx teachers’ perceptions about ADHD and preferences related to behavioral treatment. The purpose of the current study was to examine the feasibility and acceptability of behavioral consultation with Latinx teachers and...

Variability in working memory (WM) task selection likely contributes to heterogeneity in effect size estimates of deficiencies in youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This has resulted in the development of brief, easy to administer assessments such as the NIH List Sorting Working Memory (LSWM) task from the NIH Cognitive Too...

Individuals with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) consistently exhibit a stronger preference for immediate rewards than for larger rewards available following a delay on tasks measuring choice impulsivity (CI). Despite this, however, there remains a dearth of studies examining the impact of stimulant treatment on CI as well as associ...
Article
Interest in symptoms of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) has led to a number of studies evaluating how these symptoms respond to treatment commonly utilized in youths with symptoms of ADHD. No study to date, however, has examined the extent to which symptoms of SCT predict behavioral treatment response in youths across multiple domains of functioning...

Two primary methods of quantifying executive functioning include self-or other-reports (i.e., questionnaire-based EF) and cognitive test performance (i.e., task-based EF). Despite their lack of concordance with one another and relatively inconsistent associations with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, both approaches have be...

... La memoria de trabajo (mt) también presenta desafíos teóricos y metodológicos. Por una parte, se mantiene la cuestión de los dominios conceptuales específicos que son evaluados (mt fonológica y mt visoespacial), y por otra, la variabilidad en las tareas seleccionadas para medirla parece incidir en la heterogeneidad de la estimación del tamaño del efecto, en especial, en los casos de sujetos con tdah (Jusko et al., 2021). No obstante, en estas observaciones, la mt suele ser mencionada como una función ejecutiva alterada en más del 80 % de niños con tdah (Kasper et al., 2012). ...
... One of the pathways through which MPH may improve clinical status in ADHD is via its impact on impulsivity, yielding reduced impulsive behavior [29,30]. We recently demonstrated that a similar effect is also observed in healthy adults following acute MPH administration [31]. ...
... In a recent case report, Tahillioglu and Ercan (25) suggested that ATX may be more beneficial for SCT, and subthreshold ADHD compared to MPH. Additional preliminary evidence suggests that children with SCT may also respond less to behavioral interventions which was posited to be related to memory problems (26). Therefore, the aims of this study were; a. ...
... While the methodological variability in hot EF research is pressing, it is worth acknowledging that this is not an unprecedented problem in the broader literature interested in cognitive or neuropsychological functioning. For example, task-based versus questionnaire-based assessment of EF (e.g., Smith et al., 2020;Toplak et al., 2013), use of standardized neuropsychological assessments versus experimental cognitive tasks (e.g., Jusko et al., 2021), and variability in task characteristics/complexity (e.g., Molitor & Langberg, 2017;Patros et al., 2019) have all been found to substantially affect findings and preclude firm conclusions about the true magnitude of (cool) EF deficits in youth ADHD. Indeed, some of the measurement issues present in the hot EF literature parallel these broader issues. ...
