“…Byrne et al, 1998;Mariani & Barkley, 1997;Perner et al, 2002). Moreover, the finding that only inhibition contributed significantly when entering all executive functioning measures simultaneously in a regression model also supports theoretical propositions by and is consistent with empirical findings (e.g.…”

The present study investigated the relation between executive functioning and symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in children aged 4-6. A population-based sample ðn=201) was used and laboratory measures of inhibition, working memory and verbal fluency and teacher ratings of disruptive behaviour problems were collected. Both group differences and linear relations were studied and comorbidity was controlled for dimensionally. In both categorical and dimensional analyses, executive functioning was associated with symptoms of ADHD, but not with symptoms of ODD when controlling for comorbidity, and no significant interactive effects of ADHD and ODD symptoms were found. Effect sizes for significant effects were generally in the medium range. Regarding sex differences, the control for comorbid ODD symptoms appeared to affect the relation between ADHD symptoms and executive functioning somewhat more for girls compared with boys. In conclusion, poor executive functioning in preschool appears to be primarily related to symptoms of ADHD, whereas the relation to symptoms of ODD can be attributed to the large overlap between these two disruptive disorders.

“…13,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] Similar to what is observed in older youth with ADHD, preschool-ers with ADHD have poorer social skills, more difficulties with their peers, greater academic difficulties, and poorer cognitive and neuropsychological functioning. Moreover, their parents often have greater levels of psychopathology and stress, negative parenting behavior, feel less competent in their role as parent, and have poorer coping styles.…”

“…The majority of these studies (9/11) have found a significant association between ADHD symptoms and deficient behavioral inhibition (Berlin & Bohlin, 2002;Berlin et al, 2003;Byrne, DeWolfe, & Bawden, 1998;Campbell et al, 1982Campbell et al, , 1994Hughes, Dunn, & White, 1998;Marakovitz & Campbell, 1998;Sonuga-Barke et al, 2002;Sonuga-Barke, Dalen, & Remington, 2003), adding credence to the hypotheses that early behavioral inhibition predicts later ADHD symptoms and may influence the relationship between early and later ADHD symptoms.…”

Data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care were examined to test whether: attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms remain stable from 54 months through early elementary school; behavioral inhibition and attention deficits assessed at 54 months predict ADHD symptoms in elementary school, even after controlling for their temporal stability; and early behavioral inhibition and attention deficits moderate the longitudinal stability in ADHD symptoms. Data were examined using continuous and categorical measures of symptoms. Modest stability in ADHD symptoms from 54 months to third grade was found. Measures of inhibition and inattention predicted later teacher ratings uniquely, but no evidence was found for moderation. Measures of preschool behavioral inhibition also predicted "persistently at risk status" defined by elevated teacher ratings over time. Results are discussed in terms of executive and motivational facets of inhibition that may be related to early signs of ADHD.
