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? · causal · r?
Prevalence analysis across 86 children with ADHD-C assessed on visuospatial WM tasks under standard and high-reinforcement conditions. The abstract concludes "The majority of children with ADHD-C is impaired on visuospatial WM."
"The majority of children with ADHD-C is impaired on visuospatial WM."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Diagnostic validity analyses yield results similar to the prevalence findings for WM, STM, and motivational impairments — 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
- STM and WM performance is worse in ADHD-C than in ADHD-I, while CE-related performance does not differ between subtypes — related
- Memory and motivation represent independent neuropsychological domains in children with ADHD — 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
- In the ADHD-I restrictive subtype, visuospatial WM impairments are more prevalent than in controls but STM impairments are not — related
