Effects of age and gender on performance on Conners' Continuous Performance Test in Brazilian adolescents.

Abstract: The present study analyzed the effects of age and gender on performance on the Conners' Continuous Performance Test (CCPT II) in a sample of Brazilian adolescents aged 12-17 years. The sample consisted of 480 participants (210 boys) with a mean age of 14.34 years (SD ± 1.61 years) who were representative of the socioeconomic class distribution of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The participants were prescreened for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The present results found effects of age and gender tha… Show more

“…While teachers' and parents' ADHD rating scales demonstrated gender differences in the inattention domain, a different pattern of gender differences emerged in the CPT data. Similar to previous studies (McGee et al, 2000;Seidman et al, 2005;Miranda et al, 2012), our results showed that boys conducted more impulsive responses than girls, regardless the presence of distracting stimuli, the type of distractors (visual, auditory or combined) or their load (one or two distracting stimuli at a time). Importantly, gender did not interact with distractors type or with their load, indicating that the effect of environmental distractors on CPT performance did not significantly differ between boys and girls.…”

“…In addition, the ICI increases in blocks from 1° to 3° and 4° to 6°, that is, the subjects as they scale to higher grades have better impulsive control in attentional tasks, consequently, it indicates an adequate inhibitory control in different learning contexts (Korzeniowski & Ison, 2019)Oh, yeah. Finally, variability in Ec results is evident, in contrast, studies indicate that as subjects mature Ec decreases (Miranda, et al, 2008, Miranda, et al Al. 2013; therefore, new studies would have to be generated to understand in depth the findings found in Peruvian samples.…”

“…Estudos mais recentes apresentam uma visão mais ampla do teste propondo outras funções resultantes do uso do CPT II dependendo de qual a combinação das variáveis usadas Kovalik-Gran, 2010b (Conners et al, 2003). Efeitos robustos em relação à idade foram encontrados em amostras epidemiológicas (Conners et al, 2003;Miranda et al, 2008;Miranda et al, 2013) em relação ao CPT II.…”

“…O alvo não era frequente e os intervalos não variavam. Indivíduos com boa atenção sustentada apresentavam um desempenho praticamente perfeito; por conta dos raros alvos havia pouca chance de omissão (Conners et al, 2003;Strauss et al, 2006 Os resultados controversos encontrados na literatura podem em parte ser explicados pela heterogeneidade de grupos definidos pelo DSM-IV, assim como por diferenças metodológicas entre os estudos como critérios de inclusão relacionados a idade, dado que efeitos robustos entre idade e atenção foram relacionados em estudos epidemiológicos (Conners et al, 2003;Miranda et al, 2008;Miranda et al, 2013 (Fair et al, 2012). Nossos resultados são consistentes com este estudo que reforça a heterogeneidade encontrada dentro de um mesmo grupo diagnóstico, assim como enfatiza a heterogeneidade no desempenho neuropsicológico que pode ocorrer dentro do grupo controle.…”
