“…These results are particularly relevant for the study of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in which distractibility is increased (Gumenyuk et al 2005) and normal aging in which there is a selective-suppression deficit (Gazzaley et al 2005(Gazzaley et al , 2008. Further investigation will focus on the impact of extensive long-term training designed to selectively improve suppression abilities and WM performance in young and older adults.…”

Berry AS, Zanto TP, Rutman AM, Clapp WC, Gazzaley A. Practicerelated improvement in working memory is modulated by changes in processing external interference. J Neurophysiol 102: 1779 -1789. First published July 8, 2009 doi:10.1152/jn.00179.2009. Working memory (WM) performance is impaired by the presence of external interference. Accordingly, more efficient processing of intervening stimuli with practice may lead to enhanced WM performance. To explore the role of practice on the impact that interference has on WM performance, we studied young adults with electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings as they performed three motion-direction, delayed-recognition tasks. One task was presented without interference, whereas two tasks introduced different types of interference during the interval of memory maintenance: distractors and interruptors. Distractors were to be ignored, whereas interruptors demanded attention based on task instructions for a perceptual discrimination. We show that WM performance was disrupted by both types of interference, but interference-induced disruption abated across a single experimental session through rapid learning. WM accuracy and response time improved in a manner that was correlated with changes in early neural measures of interference processing in visual cortex (i.e., P1 suppression and N1 enhancement). These results suggest practice-related changes in processing interference exert a positive influence on WM performance, highlighting the importance of filtering irrelevant information and the dynamic interactions that exist between neural processes of perception, attention, and WM during learning.

“…One study has failed to show such correlations at 2 y of age (27), while a recent study using speech sounds on term-born and premature newborns showed that AERP at term was predictive of outcome in infancy (28). Alterations in AERP and particularly MMN have been shown in children with learning disabilities (29), reading and language-related disorders (17), autism spectrum disorders (6,13,30), distractibility, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (30). In our study, AERP difference waves to all three deviants in children with brain damage and lower cognitive scores were displaced negatively, leading to stronger MMN and weaker P3a responses.…”

“…A small sample of children with AD/HD (subtype not specified) showed reduced early P3a and late negativity to the auditory distracter, interpreted as abnormal involuntary attention and reorienting attention respectively (Gumenyuk et al, 2005), although note that the auditory ERPs were partially overlapped by the response to the subsequent visual stimulus. van Mourik et al (2007) reported an enhanced early P3a (which might be better labelled a P2 given its timing) that was interpreted as indicating increased orienting to both standard and novel stimuli in a mixed subtype AD/HD group.…”

This article reviews the event-related potential (ERP) literature in relation to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) over the years [2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012]. ERP studies exploring various aspects of brain functioning in children and adolescents with AD/HD are reviewed, with a focus on group effects and interpretations in the domains of attention, inhibitory control, performance monitoring, non-pharmacological treatments, and ERP/energetics interactions. There has been a distinct shift in research intensity over the past 10 years, with a large increase in ERP studies conducted in the areas of inhibitory control and performance monitoring. Overall, the research has identified a substantial number of ERP correlates of AD/HD. Robust differences from healthy controls have been reported in early orienting, inhibitory control, and error-processing components. These data offer potential to improve our understanding of the specific brain dysfunction(s) which contribute to the disorder. The literature would benefit from a more rigorous approach to clinical group composition and consideration of age effects, as well as increased emphasis on replication and extension studies using exacting participant, task, and analysis parameters. • Research focus and intensity has been in the domains of attention, inhibitory control, performance monitoring, non-pharmacological treatments, and ERP/energetics interactions.• Some consistent differences from healthy controls are emerging, but more emphasis on replication and extension studies is needed to increase the consistency and specificity of results. AbstractThis article reviews the event-related potential (ERP) literature in relation to attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) over the years 2002 to 2012.
