“…Several temperamental characteristics, such as negative affect, high surgency, or low effortful control have been identified as risk factors for attention problems in children from low-income households during the early school years (Brown et al, 2010). One reason why we did not find children’s temperamental characteristics as predictors may be due to the low-risk nature of our community-based sample of predominantly middle-income families.…”

“…One reason why we did not find children’s temperamental characteristics as predictors may be due to the low-risk nature of our community-based sample of predominantly middle-income families. It may be the combination of temperamental risk with such family risk factors as low SES and a chaotic home environment that predict attention problems (Brown et al, 2010). …”

“…Several temperamental child characteristics have been identified as potential risks. Specifically, lower executive attention skills, lower effortful control, higher surgency (extraversion), and higher negative affect predicted mother-rated attention problems in preschool and early childhood (Brown, Weatherhol, & Burns, 2010). …”

“…A chaotic home environment refers to low levels of temporal routines and predictability and organization, as well as to high levels of confusion (Wachs & Corapci, ). This type of environment was found to be related to child ADHD symptoms (Mokrova et al, ) and especially to inattention symptoms (Brown et al, ). This relation was found above and beyond other factors, such as child's gender, age, cognitive ability, and temperamental dimensions of effortful control and surgency/extraversion (Brown et al, ).…”

This relation was found above and beyond other factors, such as child's gender, age, cognitive ability, and temperamental dimensions of effortful control and surgency/extraversion (Brown et al, ). Lower home chaos was found among adolescents with low‐extreme ADHD traits (i.e., those who scored in the lower 10% of the ADHD trait distribution) than among adolescents with high‐extreme ADHD traits (i.e., those who scored in the top 10% of the ADHD trait distribution; Greven et al, ).…”

Attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is highly heritable; however, an adequate home environment may moderate its development. This study examined the early home environment of 70 male adolescents (M age = 13.5 years, SD = 0.95) participating in a prospective high‐risk longitudinal study. Results demonstrated that adolescents who were eventually diagnosed with ADHD tended to have higher home chaos and less enriched home environments in early childhood. Within the different aspects of enriched home environment, less cognitive stimulation—but not less emotional/physical support—was found between diagnosed and nondiagnosed adolescents. This effect was also found among the subgroup of those who, a priori, were at familial risk for ADHD. Early cognitive stimulation longitudinally predicted both ADHD diagnosis and ADHD symptom domains, above and beyond parental ADHD symptoms and other aspects of the early home environment. Results suggest the possible protective role of early cognitive stimulation in the development of ADHD. Highlights This study examined the aspects of early childhood home environment that serve as risk/protective factors in the developmental course of ADHD. Early cognitive stimulation, but not home chaos and emotional/physical environment, longitudinally predicted both ADHD symptoms and diagnosis in adolescence. Early cognitive stimulation might have a protective role in the developmental course of ADHD.

Children born preterm are at increased risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and subclinical attention problems. The ADHD profile that presents following prematurity has been characterized by inattention without impulsivity or hyperactivity. This supports the existence of a preterm attentional phenotype. This review aims to examine the preterm attentional profile regarding three attention networks: alerting, orienting, and executive attention, and to survey the methods used for measuring attention networks. We conclude that prematurity is associated with impairments in the attention networks, but a robust and detailed articulation of a distinctive preterm attention phenotype cannot be ascertained from the available data. Future research should focus on addressing methodological challenges associated with measuring attention, protocol harmonization, open data sharing, and longitudinal studies
