“…[35][36][37] Relatively little is known about the effects of comorbidity on the type and severity of cognitive deficits found in children with ADHD. Some recent studies [37][38][39] have reported that deficits in performance on neuropsychological tasks by children with ADHD cannot be accounted for by the presence of psychiatric Latency Difference MPT -log 10 p Figure 6. Topographic distribution of steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) amplitude differences, SSVEP latency differences, and probability for subjects with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.…”

“…Within the extant pediatric literature, the ROCF has been utilized as a measure of visuospatial perception, learning and memory (Baron, 2000) in research with several populations including typically developing youth (Beebe, Ris, Brown, & Dietrich, 2004), epilepsy (Hernandez et al, 2003), phenylketonuria (Antshel & Waisbren, 2003), preterm children (Waber & McCormick, 1995), learning disabilities (Kirkwood et al, 2001) and ADHD (Sami, Carte, Hinshaw, & Zupan, 2003;Seidman et al, 1995). All of these studies found the ROCF to be a sensitive measure to the cognitive difficulties of the identified clinical group.…”

Ninety-two children with velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS), a genetic disorder caused by a microdeletion of chromosome 22q11.2 and an age, race and gender-ratio comparable sample of 59 control participants were included in the project. Participants received a MRI as well as a comprehensive neuropsychological battery; the primary outcome measure in the current report is the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF). Children with VCFS performed less well on the ROCF and have lower whole brain volume compared to controls. After controlling for whole brain volume differences, children with VCFS have bilaterally less parietal lobe gray and white matter yet more frontal lobe white matter. Brain -behavior relationships include: (a) for both groups, parietal volumes (both gray and white matter) predicted ROCF Copy Organization performance and frontal volumes (both gray and white matter) predicted ROCF Copy Accuracy performance; (b) for controls, frontal white matter also predicted ROCF Copy Organization performance; (c) ROCF Recall Organization performance was best predicted by frontal gray matter volume only in our controls; ROCF Recall Accuracy performance was best predicted by frontal gray matter volume in both groups; and (d) in children with VCFS, performance on the ROCF-Copy Structural Elements Accuracy scale was predicted by right hemisphere white matter volume. Our hypotheses were also retested using IQmatched and whole brain volume-matched subsamples. Identical results were obtained in these analyses. Assumptions about the organization of and the localization of the brain structures that subserve specific cognitive functions in the typically developing brain may not apply in the abnormally developing brain. NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptVelocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS), a chromosomal deletion disorder of 22q11.2 (3 Mb, 25-30 genes) affects 1 in 2000-5000 individuals . The deletion syndrome is associated with multiple congenital anomalies, including cardiac malformations, hearing loss, hypocalcaemia, velopharyngeal insufficiency and cleft palate (Ryan et al., 1997). Phenotypic facial abnormalities include a long face, pear-shaped nose, small ears with overfolded helicies, and vertically narrow eyes (Antshel et al., 2005). VCFS is associated with cognitive and developmental delays and the vast majority of children with VCFS experience academic difficulties, especially in math (Simon et al., 2002;Swillen et al., 1997;Swillen et al., 1999). Executive functioning deficits including difficulties shifting attention and a poorly developed working memory have also been indicated (Woodin et al., 2000). Most, but not all, children with VCFS exhibit deficits in abstract and nonverbal reasoning and visuospatial abilities (Moss et al., 1999). Some have hypothesized that VCFS is an exemplar of the nonverbal learning disability (NLD; Rourke et al., 2002;Swillen et al., 1999).The VCFS behavioral phenotype includes poor social skills, introversion, disinhibition, impulsivity, anxiet...

“…1,[18][19][20] These functions include sustained attention, working memory, interference control, abstract problem solving/set shifting, planning/visuospatial organization, processing speed, and verbal learning. 3,21,22 Subtests were selected from several well-studied clinical instruments that purport to measure these constructs, although it should be noted that these measures may be multifactorial and may assess more than 1 domain of function.…”

consistent literature has documented significant associations between attention-deficit/hyperactivity Effects of Stimulant Medication on Neuropsychological Functioning in Young AdultsWith Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Objective:The main goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of stimulant medication on executive function deficits in a group of adolescents and young adults with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; DSM-III-R criteria).Method: Male and female subjects aged 15 to 25 years were divided into 3 groups: subjects with ADHD treated with stimulants who took their medication at the time of testing (ADHD active stimulant treatment: N = 26), subjects with ADHD who had not taken stimulant medication in the past month (ADHD no stimulant treatment: N = 94), and non-ADHD control subjects (controls: N = 133). The neuropsychological battery assessed domains of cognitive functioning known to be relevant in ADHD, including tests of executive functions and learning and memory. Data were collected from July 1998 to April 2003.Results: The ADHD no stimulant treatment group had significantly lower aggregate scores compared with the controls for the total aggregate, working memory, interference control, processing speed, sustained attention, and verbal learning domains (all p < .001). The ADHD active stimulant treatment group had significantly poorer scores on the total aggregate (p = .002), interference control (p < .001), and processing speed (p = .003) domains compared with the controls. The ADHD active stimulant treatment subjects scored significantly higher on the domains of sustained attention (p = .04) and verbal learning (p = .03) compared with the ADHD no stimulant treatment subjects.Conclusions: Our study showed that subjects with ADHD who took stimulant medication had higher neuropsychological measures of attention compared with subjects with ADHD who did not take stimulant medication, but differences were not found for other measures of executive function.
