“…For the last several years, our laboratory has been conducting research in undergraduates with ADHD to try to understand the cognitive effects of stimulant medications (Advokat et al, 2007;Advokat et al, 2008;Advokat & Luo, unpublished;Barrilleaux & Advokat, 2009). Given evidence that suggests there is a positive relationship between the Grade Point Average of undergraduates and their working memory (Gropper & Tannock, 2009) our efforts to clarify the cognitive actions of these drugs include studies of both, neuropsychological and academic performance of adult ADHD-diagnosed undergraduates.…”

“…Individuals with ADHD tend to experience more marital and family problems compared with normal adults. They may have higher divorce rates and greater risks of substance misuse, driving accidents, sexual problems, and job changes than adults without ADHD (Advokat et al 2007;Cox et al 2011;Rosenbloom and Wultz 2011).…”

The goal of the present study was to explore deficits in gaze detection and emotional value judgment during a saccadic eye movement task in adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tendencies. Thirty-two participants, consisting of 16 ADHD tendencies and 16 controls, were recruited from a pool of 243 university students. Among the many problems in adults with ADHDs, our research focused on the deficits in the processing of nonverbal cues, such as gaze direction and the emotional value of others' faces. In Experiment 1, a cue display containing a face with emotional value and gaze direction was followed by a target display containing two faces located on the left and right side of the display. The participant's task was to make an anti-saccade opposite to the gaze direction if the cue face was not emotionally neutral. ADHD tendencies showed more overall errors than controls in making anti-saccades. Based on the hypothesis that the exposure duration of the cue display in Experiment 1 may have been too long, we presented the cue and target display simultaneously to prevent participants from preparing saccades in advance. Participants in Experiment 2 were asked to make either a pro-saccade or an anti-saccade depending on the emotional value of the central cue face. Interestingly, significant group differences were observed for errors of omission and commission. In addition, a significant three-way interaction among groups, cue emotion, and target gaze direction suggests that the emotional recognition and gaze control systems might somehow be interconnected. The result also shows that ADHDs are more easily distracted by a task-irrelevant gaze direction. Taken together, these results suggest that tasks requiring both response inhibition (anti-saccade) and gaze-emotion recognition might be useful in developing a diagnostic test for discriminating adults with ADHDs from healthy adults.

“…Furthermore, while some studies have supported relationships between ADHD and difficulties with inhibition, attention, and working memory (Antshel et al, 2010;Epstein et al, 1998;Forbes, 1998;Gropper and Tannock, 2009), the effect sizes have been moderate, and many individuals with ADHD did not show executive dysfunction (Nigg, 2013;Willcutt et al, 2005). Most of the executive functioning measures were reliant on processing speed (Advokat et al, 2007;Lipszyc and Schachar, 2010), and several studies suggested that slower reaction times and reaction time variability were more strongly associated with ADHD than actual omission, commission, or other outright executive functioning errors (Advokat et al, 2007;Alderson et al, 2007;Bedard and Tannock, 2008;Metin et al, 2013). Working memory difficulties appeared a bit more consistent according to some meta-analyses (Kasper et al, 2012;Martinussen et al, 2005).…”

Continuous Performance Test (CPT) of College Students With ADHD, Psychiatric Disorders, Cognitive Deficits, or No Diagnosis

Abstract: The CPT reliably differentiated between individuals with ADHD and both normal college students and individuals with psychiatric diagnoses but not persons with learning/cognitive disorders.
