q2 · i? · review · r2

Denckla's narrative review of research on executive function dysfunction in ADHD and learning disabilities reports that inhibitory control is the subdomain repeatedly linked to ADHD, citing Barkley and her own prior work. No effect size is printed for this association.

"The one subdomain of EDF that has repeatedly emerged as ADHD-related is that of inhibitory control (Barkley, 1997; Denckla, 2005)."

Related Claims¶

• ASD shows a distinct executive dysfunction profile of impaired cognitive flexibility and planning with intact inhibitory control
• Aerobic exercise improves executive functioning, most notably inhibitory control, in typically developing children, though evidence is tentative and one week-long study found no main effect
• A meta-analysis found no evidence that clinical status, including ADHD and substance use disorder samples, moderates the effect of reward on inhibitory control
• Computer-based training reliably improves children's working memory and reasoning, but computerized training has not succeeded in improving 4- to 6-year-olds' inhibitory control — related
