Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Findings do not support that ADHD subtypes differ in sensory processing problems, including for tactile and auditory processing. → Ghanizadeh A 2011

q2 · i? · review · r2
The review's abstract-level synthesis states that "Findings do not support that ADHD subtypes are distinct disorders with regard to sensory processing problems"; the discussion repeats this for tactile and auditory processing. No effect size is printed.
"Findings do not support that ADHD subtypes are distinct disorders with regard to sensory processing problems."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- ODD and anxiety co-morbidity predict more severe sensory processing problems in children with ADHD
- Tactile defensiveness in ADHD is specific to affected children, more frequent in females, and not due to tactile perception impairment — related
- Affect recognition deficits were not found unanimously across ADHD groups, suggesting a nuanced subtype-specific pattern — related
