“…Children with ADHD demonstrated impairment compared to controls in this test [Homack and Riccio, 2004;Seidman et al, 2006;Boonstra et al, 2010]. To evaluate the executive function of ADHD in real life, an ecological instrument-the ''BRIEF scale''-has been used and results indicated the impaired executive functions of ADHD [Gioia et al, 2000;Toplak et al, 2009;Linder et al, 2010]. In our previous studies, we have used both the Stroop test and the BRIEF scale to evaluate the inhibition function of ADHD in Chinese Han subjects, and confirmed significant dis-inhibition in ADHD [Qian et al, 2010;Shuai et al, 2011].…”

Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) plays a critical role in the metabolism of monoamine neurotransmitters including serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE), and dopamine (DA). Genetic studies have found an association between MAOA and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), especially impulsivity. However, there has been inconsistency among studies which may be due to the complexity and heterogeneity of ADHD, including its sexual dimorphism and the presence of several subtypes. We conducted transmission disequilibrium tests (TDTs) in 1,253 trios and found no association between five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MAOA with ADHD in general or in the predominantly inattentive (ADHD-I) or combined types (ADHD-C), but with the predominantly hyperactive/impulsivity type (ADHD-HI). The association with MAOA was restricted to males, especially males with ADHD-HI. Logistic regression analyses of data from 1,824 cases and 957 controls did not indicate any association. We used analysis of covariance to analyze the association between MAOA genotype with the "inhibit" factor of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) in 640 probands and performance on the Stroop test in 810 probands. Probands homozygous for risk alleles found in the TDT test had higher "inhibit" scores on the BRIEF scale which represents more severe impulsivity; this results also was restricted to males. No association was found with Stroop test performance. In conclusion, our results provide some evidence that MAOA may be associated with the ADHD-HI subtype and support the association between MAOA and impulsivity, which may be a potential endophenotype of ADHD. However, the results were strongly influenced by gender.

The executive function (EF) deficits of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) hinder their performance of complex daily functions. Despite the existing evidence-based pharmacological interventions for ADHD symptoms, no intervention has yet been found that deals directly with EFs in daily tasks. Fourteen children and their parents participated in the Cognitive-Functional (Cog-Fun) program in occupational therapy, which is tailored to the executive dysfunction of ADHD and focuses on enabling cognitive strategies for occupational performance. The study included initial assessment of EFs (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functions; Tower of London DX ), occupational performance (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure), 10 sessions of Cog-Fun intervention with each child-parent dyad, and postintervention and 3-month follow-up assessments. We found significant improvements with medium to large effects on outcome measures after intervention, and most effects were maintained at follow-up. The findings warrant controlled studies examining the effectiveness of this intervention for children with ADHD.

“…Teachers rated each item on a 3-point scale ranging from 1 (never) to 3 (very often/always). Prior findings have demonstrated the validity and reliability of this scale (Lyons Usher et al, 2016), as well as the content validity of the scale's Hebrew adaptation, showing only moderate correlation with a measure of ADHD symptomatology (Linder, Kroyzer, Maeir, Wertman-Elad, & Pollak, 2010). In the current study, Cronbach's αs of these narrow-band subscales, broadband scales, and overall composite scale ranged from .70 to .98.…”

This study explored multiple attachment relationships and examined four conceptual models of child–mother/father attachment—monotropy, hierarchy, independence, integration—to explain executive functioning (EF) in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) versus typical development (TD; n = 50 each; age: M = 11.45, SD = .50). Significant ADHD versus TD differences emerged on all EF measures and on distribution into four clusters (secure attachment to both parents, neither parent, only father, only mother). For both groups, results supported two attachment models: (a) monotropy: child–mother attachment predicted all EF measures; child–father attachment predicted none and (b) integration: clusters differed significantly on all EF measures. Children with ADHD comprised ∼74% of the high‐risk cluster (concordant insecure attachment, highest EF difficulties). Discussion focused on unique risk/protective roles played by each parental attachment for understanding EF in children with ADHD or TD.
