“…Often children diagnosed with ADHD in schooling years have shown early indications. In fact, several studies suggest that early identification of ADHD is possible, even if it is difficult and requires particular attention (Keenan, Shaw, & Walsh, 1997;Stormont & Zentall, 1999;Wilens et al, 2002;Zito et al, 2000).…”

The present study tests the hypothesis that a working memory deficit is also found in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms as young as 5 and is related to the control of interfering information. One group of 23 kindergarten children identified by the presence of ADHD symptoms and one group of 23 children matched for gender, age, and socioeconomic status were administered a visuospatial working memory task that required the selective recall of information. Children with ADHD symptoms performed more poorly than controls and were affected to a particularly high extent by intrusion errors (i.e., recalling of information initially encoded but that needed to be consequently suppressed during the task).

“…Children with ADHD suffer from a pattern of inattention, impulsivity and excessive motor activity (American Psychiatry Association, 1994). Although there is common agreement that children with ADHD are more active than control children, it was previously shown that children with ADHD are only more behaviourally deviant in specific home or school settings (Cammann and Miehlke, 1989;Roberts, 1990;Stormont and Zentall, 1999;Zentall, 1984). Based on these studies, it is important to consider environmental factors in diagnostic and research observations of children with ADHD.…”

To examine the effects of time of day and playtime on hyperactive behaviour in children with ADHD, 14 boys with ADHD and 14 control children were observed and videotaped during a whole school day. Analyses reveal minor differential effects of time of day and playtime on the hyperactive behaviour of children with ADHD compared to control children for noisiness and out of seat behaviour. Children with ADHD show a stronger increase in hyperactive behaviour after playtime in the afternoon. These differential effects are important in the light of the management of children with ADHD in the classroom and of observations that commonly take place for both diagnosis and research.

“…In more recent years, a number of studies have explored the presence of ADHD symptoms in preschool children. In an investigation by Stormont and Zentall (1999), parents of ADHD children reported discerning symptoms at an age as early as 2. Another study (Wilens et al, 2002) found that of 200 under 6 having psychiatric disorders, 86% showed ADHD symptoms, with a mean age of onset of 2.3 years (SD = 1.4).…”
