“…It is also important to note that although a majority of studies documented greater perseverations and commission errors among participants with ADHD, other studies have not found such differences (Egeland, Johansen, & Ueland, 2009; Jarrett et al, 2014). Alternatively, previous research also indicates that individuals with a cognitive disorder (e.g., reading disorder; Advokat et al, 2007; McGee, Clark, & Symons, 2000) and/or a psychiatric condition (e.g., depression; Porter, Gallagher, Thompson, & Young, 2003) have also committed greater commission errors on continuous performance tasks, therefore it is important to note that poor performance on CPT tasks is not unique to ADHD. In fact, results from the present study suggest college students with one or more non-ADHD psychiatric diagnoses (e.g., mood, anxiety, and other disorders) performed more poorly on CPT-II tasks compared to those without such a diagnosis.…”
