LANGUAGE DEFICITS IN BOYS WITH ADHD
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2008, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. Children with ADHD have many cognitive and behavioral problems, associated with poor inhibition mechanisms, impulsivity, ineffective attention processes, and poor motor control. The aim of this study was to assess language deficits in a group of 60 boys with ADHD, compared to 30 healthy controls. The results suggest mild or moderate language problems, consisting in failed word choice and selection, lack of inhibition of inadequate memories, and increased susceptibility to interference, related to ADHD.
