Do ADHD and SLD Children Differ in Executive Functions and Behavioural Problems? A Comparative Study
Peer reviewed
Direct linkAli Sharifi; Faramarz Asanjarani – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2024
It is well-known that children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorder (SLD) often exhibit behavioural and emotional problems. However, little is known about how these problems compare between the two groups of children. This study sought to fill this gap in knowledge by comparing the executive functions…

Avramovich, Adi; Yeari, Menahem – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2023
The present study explored (a) whether differences between students with and without ADHD in reading comprehension are explained by their executive functions, and (b) the unique and shared contribution of the various executive functions to reading comprehension ability. To address these questions, ninety-six adolescents with and without ADHD…

Lee, Rachel R.; Ward, Anthony R.; Lane, David M.; Aman, Michael G.; Loveland, Katherine A.; Mansour, Rosleen; Pearson, Deborah A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
There is substantial comorbidity between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and there are well-documented executive functioning (EF) deficits in both populations. An important question concerns whether EF deficits in children with ASD are related to severity of ASD, ADHD, or both. We examined ADHD…

Soltani, Amanallah; Schworer, Emily K.; Esbensen, Anna J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
People with Down syndrome (DS) commonly experience challenges with sleep, executive functioning, everyday memory, and symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A path analysis was conducted to determine if executive function mediated the relationship between sleep problems and both everyday memory and ADHD symptoms. Parents of…

Yuchun Chen; Feng-Ming Tsao; Huei-Mei Liu; Yi-Jou Huang – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Reading comprehension skills, which involve numerous executive functions (EFs), are crucial for the academic success of school-aged children. Because children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulties with language comprehension and EFs, achieving reading comprehension may be challenging for them. This study evaluated…

Fox, Laurie – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
In 1970, this first program supporting college students with language-based learning disabilities was a radical pioneer. While an exemplar for 40 years, there are fresh challenges today in the form of competition for diminished numbers of 18 year olds. To better understand what helps and what matters to students, research needs to go beyond most…

This study examines the results of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF2) (Gioia et al., 2015) reported by parents of children with Specific Learning Disability (LD) and/or other comorbid disabilities. LD is most notably associated with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Alloway & Stein, 2014;…

Rodríguez Cervantes, Celia Josefina; Valadez Sierra, María de los Dolores; Verche, Emilio; Soltero Avelar, Rubén; González Betanzos, Fabiola – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2022
Introduction: As a result of similar behavioral manifestations across populations, the conspicuous diagnostic confusion of high intellectual ability (HIA) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often reported. Approaching Executive Functions as underlying processes can assist in distinguishing the two conditions. The principal aim…

McGrath, Melissa A.; Fletcher, Kathryn L.; Bielski, Lynn M. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Children with normal hearing who present with listening difficulties (LiD) are frequently referred for assessment of auditory processing disorder (APD). Complicating diagnosis is the similarities of APD to other neurodevelopmental disorders, especially attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Due to well-documented deficits in executive…

Background: Difficulties with performance and brain activity related to attentional orienting (Cue-P3), cognitive or response preparation (Cue-CNV) and inhibitory response control (Nogo-P3) during tasks tapping executive functions are familial in ADHD and may represent endophenotypes. The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of dopamine…

Sabhlok, Aditi; Malanchini, Margherita; Engelhardt, Laura E.; Madole, James; Tucker-Drob, Elliot M.; Harden, Kathryn Paige – Developmental Science, 2022
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a heterogeneous disorder that is highly impairing. Early, accurate diagnosis maximizes long-term positive outcomes for youth with ADHD. Tests of executive functioning (EF) are potential tools for screening and differential diagnosis of ADHD subtypes. However, previous research has been…

Schroeder, Valarie M.; Kelley, Michelle L. – Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2009
We examined the relationships between executive functioning, family environment, and parenting practices in children diagnosed with ADHD as compared to children without ADHD. Participants were parents (N = 134) of 6- to 12-year-old ADHD and non-ADHD-diagnosed children. Compared to the control group, parents of children diagnosed with ADHD reported…

Tseng, Wan-Ling; Gau, Susan Shur-Fen – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2013
Background: Cognitive processes and mechanisms underlying the strong link between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and social problems remain unclear. Limited knowledge also exists regarding a subgroup of youth with ADHD who do not have social problems. This study investigated the extent to which executive function (EF) mediated the…

Problems with executive function (EF) are considered a hallmark of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, little is known about the developmental pathway of everyday EF in these two groups, and whether the two groups follow a similar or different developmental course. In this longitudinal…
