Abstract
Currently, children and adolescents with an excess of hyperactive, inattentive, and impulsive behavior are diagnosed as Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD; see the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders {DSM-IV}, American Psychiatric Association, 1994, and chapter 1, this volume).
Article FootNote
Children now diagnosed as ADHD have, in past research, been categorized under a number of labels. In this chapter, we uniformly use the term ADHD to describe all “hyperactive” and “attention-deficit” research subjects.
