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? Motivational impairments were not common (22% impaired) and were equally prevalent in ADHD-C and ADHD-I. → S. Dovis 2015

q3 · i? · causal · r?
Reinforcement sensitivity was indexed as the difference in task performance between a standard feedback-only condition and a high-reinforcement condition (feedback plus 10 euros) across both ADHD subtypes. The abstract reports "Motivational impairments were not common (22 % impaired) and equally prevalent in both subtypes."
"Motivational impairments were not common (22 % impaired) and equally prevalent in both subtypes."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Memory and motivation represent independent neuropsychological domains in children with ADHD — related
- Both ADHD subtypes show equally pronounced motivational deficits that impair visuospatial STM and WM performance — related
- Cognitive deficits in children with ADHD are not permanent neuropsychological impairments and cognitive capacity can be modulated by motivation — related
- Diagnostic validity analyses yield results similar to the prevalence findings for WM, STM, and motivational impairments — related
