“…In addition, Mannuzza et al (2008) demonstrated a similar increased risk of arrest, conviction and incarceration in adulthood for boys who had ADHD and no conduct problems than non-ADHD controls. Furthermore, individuals with ADHD come into contact with the criminal justice system at a higher rate than the general population (Goldstein 1997). Follow-up studies looking at lifetime criminality in boys with ADHD, have found that individuals with ADHD were more likely to be arrested, incarcerated and convicted in comparison to their non-ADHD counterparts (Mannuzza et al 2008).…”

There is increasing evidence suggesting a link between ADHD and criminality, including a strong association between ADHD symptoms and the likelihood of being on probation or in prison. Most studies investigating the prevalence of ADHD in prison populations have focused on adult male offenders. In the current study, 69 female prisoners were screened for both childhood and adult ADHD symptoms using the Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale -IV (BAARS-IV). The results indicate that 41% of the prisoners met the diagnostic criteria for ADHD in childhood, and continued to meet criteria for ADHD as adults. More importantly young female prisoners (aged 18-25) were significantly more likely to report symptoms of ADHD than older prisoners. Prisoners who reported symptoms of ADHD also reported high levels of impairment associated with these symptoms. A better understanding of the prevalence of ADHD in female prison units can highlight specific areas for ADHD in Female Prisoners 2 intervention during rehabilitation, as well as the management of serious incidents within prison.

“… Encourage them to Think Straight (TS): Our aim here is to encourage the players to slow down, analyse the situation and create a strategy rather than rushing to reach the final goal. Children with ADHD are usually impatient [10,11,13] and because of the hyperactivity they are always rushing. TS design principle focuses on improving this behavior.…”

“…They sometimes present aggressive behavior, social isolation and defiance to teachers and parents. If a child is diagnosed with ADHD it does not mean that he/she has all these symptoms ( [10], [11]). Nylund mentions in his book "Treating Huckleberry Finn" [16] that the traditional ways of teaching do not work very well on ADHD diagnosed children.…”

Abstract:There is a growing number of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Research has shown that these children process information quite differently from others. A lot of ADHD diagnosed children (especially Inattentive type ADHD) are more of a visual learner, easily distracted, struggle to follow instructions, are easily forgetful and more importantly have low self-esteem. Parents are often overwhelmed by the amount of information they receive on how to handle their child's symptoms and learning style. In this project, we propose a novel way to increase the self-esteem of ADHD diagnosed children through use of computer games. We came up with a set of design principles that can be applied to any game to make it suitable for ADHD children, especially with the aim of increasing their self-esteem. Our game design was applied to an existing open source mobile game (GLtron). The results of a pilot study showed that users enjoyed playing the game and found it valuable for increasing players' self-esteem.

“…Working memory training has also been found useful for enhancing the Attention and hyperactivity of Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder persisting across the lifespan, characterized by core symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity [ 12 ]. The prevalence of ADHD has risen over time, with approximately 9.4% of children aged 2 to 17 (6.1 million children) diagnosed with the disorder [ 13 ].…”

Background Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) poses cognitive and emotional challenges for Chinese children. This study addresses the potential benefits of Working Memory Training for ADHD-affected children. Understanding its impact on Attention, cognitive regulation, and emotional responses is crucial for tailored interventions in the Chinese context. The Trial Registration Number (TRN) for this study is [TRN-2023-123,456], and it was officially registered on July 15, 2023, by Changchun Normal University. Objectives This study investigated how Working Memory training influences Attention, adaptive cognitive regulation, and non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation in Chinese children with ADHD. It also assessed changes in attentional focus, improvements in adaptive cognitive regulation, and alterations in non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Methodology This quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the impact of working memory training on Chinese children with ADHD. Using pretest-posttest measures, 120 female students underwent Cogmed software training, targeting attention deficits and cognitive emotion regulation. Three reliable instruments measured outcomes. The procedure involved informed consent, questionnaires, 25 training sessions, and a two-month follow-up. Statistical analyses, including repeated measures ANOVA, assessed training effects. Results ANOVA revealed a significant impact of Working memory training on attention deficit. Repeated measures ANOVA for cognitive emotion regulation indicated positive changes in adaptive and non-adaptive strategies over time, with sustained improvements in self-blame, rumination, catastrophizing, and blaming others. Bonferroni follow-up tests showed significant differences between pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, favoring the post-test and follow-up tests. Conclusions In summary, this research sheds light on the positive impact of memory training on Attention and cognitive emotion regulation in children with ADHD. The study underscores the potential of working memory interventions, particularly software-focused approaches, in enhancing attention levels and improving cognitive emotion regulation. The findings align with existing literature emphasizing the role of working memory deficits in ADHD. Implications Practically, incorporating memory training interventions into educational settings emerges as a viable strategy to support children with ADHD. This includes integrating memory training programs into both classroom activities and home-based interventions. Additionally, sustained implementation and long-term follow-up assessments are crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of memory training interventions. Tailoring interventions to specific ADHD subtypes and seamlessly integrating memory training activities into daily routines offer practical and personalized solutions for managing ADHD symptoms in diverse settings.
