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.
q3 i? Analyses of diagnostic validity produced results similar to the prevalence analyses for memory and motivational impairments. → S. Dovis 2015

S. Dovis, S. van der Oord, H.M. Huizenga, R.W. Wiers, P.J.M. Prins. (2015). Prevalence and diagnostic validity of motivational impairments and deficits in visuospatial short-term memory and working memory in ADHD subtypes.

q3 · i? · causal · r?
Diagnostic validity analyses complemented the prevalence analyses of visuospatial WM, STM, and motivational impairments across ADHD-C, ADHD-I, and control groups. The abstract states "Similar results were found for analyses of diagnostic validity."
"Similar results were found for analyses of diagnostic validity."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In the ADHD-I restrictive subtype, visuospatial WM impairments are more prevalent than in controls but STM impairments are not — related
- Visuospatial working memory and short-term memory impairments are most prevalent in children with ADHD-C relative to ADHD-I and typically developing controls — related
- Impairment on WM, STM, and/or motivation is associated with more inattention symptoms, medication use, and lower IQ scores — related
- Memory and motivation represent independent neuropsychological domains in children with ADHD — related
- The majority of children with ADHD-C is impaired on visuospatial working memory — related
- Both ADHD subtypes show equally pronounced motivational deficits that impair visuospatial STM and WM performance — related
- High reinforcement improves STM and WM performance in both ADHD subtypes but not in controls — related
- Children with ADHD-C show impaired visuospatial STM and CE relative to typically developing controls, whereas children with ADHD-I show impaired CE but intact STM — related
- Meta-analyses establish that ADHD is associated with poorer performance on tasks measuring inhibition, working memory, planning, and vigilance in children, with overall similar impairment patterns in adults and a strong association with reaction time variability — related
- Motivational impairments in reinforcement sensitivity are uncommon (22% impaired) and equally prevalent in both ADHD subtypes — related
