“…For example, can the impairment on script generation tasks found in juvenile ADHD (Braun et al, 2004) and adult ADHD (present study) be definitively ascribed to a true incapacity to plan sequences due to defective frontal-lobe function? Possibly not.…”

“…Until these additional investigations are carried out, it will be well advised to be quite prudent in our interpretation of the impairment of script generation in ADHD. For example, can the impairment on script generation tasks found in juvenile ADHD (Braun et al, 2004) and adult ADHD (present study) be definitively ascribed to a true incapacity to plan sequences due to defective frontal-lobe function? Possibly not.…”

“…Each dependent measure of primary interest in the present investigation was a set of six paper and pencil script generation tasks, each requiring that the participant invent a 10-item script. These script tasks were the same as Braun et al (2004), with slight modifications in "content" in order to increase "adult-like" face validity. As a consequence, they will be only briefly described in Table 3.…”

“…Demonstrations of a planning deficit in ADHD have been far more frequently made in the nonverbal modality than in the verbal modality. With regard to verbal planning, childhood ADHD has been studied only once with a script task (Braun et al, 2004) and once with the Six elements task (Clark, Prior, & Kinsella, 2000), as far as we could determine. In the first study, children with ADHD were found to present an impairment of verbal planning, indexed by mental script generation tasks.…”

Knowledge Structures and Social Interaction

The ways in which knowledge about people and the roles they play, as well as social interaction conventions and social contexts, is organized in long‐term memory plays a vital role in the understanding of others’ actions and discourse, on the one hand, and the production of messages on the other. Once activated, the cognitive structures that organize this knowledge allow social actors to understand each other's behavior, including what is being said and how it is being said, and to respond to others rapidly and in meaningful ways. When social actors struggle to understand others’ intentions or have difficulty actualizing their intentions in speech and action, social interaction is disrupted; these disruptions may potentiate negative emotional states. Thus, mutual attunement to the knowledge structures guiding social interaction is necessary to promote efficient goal achievement and to ensure that goals are attained in a socially appropriate manner.

A Context for Normalizing Impulsiveness at Work for Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Combined Type)

Impaired executive function and impulsiveness or intolerance to boredom in adult attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are thought to compromise performance at work. Several task parameters help people with ADHD to perform better on computerized cognitive tasks, namely reduced response-to-stimulus interval, discriminative feedback, or a format resembling a videogame. However, still very little is known about how these contexts might be helpful in a real work environment. We developed a computerized task resembling a fast-paced videogame with no response-to-stimulus interval and constant and diverse discriminative error feedback. The task included several measurements of high-order executive function (planning, working memory, and prospective memory) formatted as a single multitask simulating occupational activities (SOA). We also administered the Continuous Performance Test-II (CPT-II), a very simple vigilance task without discriminative feedback and with long response-to-stimulus intervals. We tested 30 adults answering to DSM-IV criteria of ADHD (combined type) and 30 IQ-matched adults without ADHD. As has been reported many times, the ADHD participants made significantly more errors of commission than the control participants on the CPT-II, whereas the two groups made the same number of errors of commission on the SOA. The ADHD group also sought discriminative feedback significantly more actively on the SOA than the control group and performed at par with the control group in all respects. There was no speed/accuracy trade-off, nor was there any evidence of other costs of normalization on the SOA. Impulsiveness in adult ADHD is compensable on a task simulating the work environment.
