q3 · i? · associational · r2
Bivariate correlations in the community sample of 15- to 19-year-olds (N=46) linked parent-rated ADHD traits (SNAP-IV) to weaker performance on both communicative perspective-taking tasks and executive function tasks. The article reports "weaker performance on the working memory and interference control tasks, as well as on the communicative perspective-taking tasks."
"Adolescents with elevated ADHD traits showed weaker performance on the working memory and interference control tasks, as well as on the communicative perspective-taking tasks."
