Overview Although children with ADHD become increasingly less likely to meet full DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for ADHD as they grow older, most will continue to exhibit elevations of symptoms of ADHD and associated functional impairments into adolescence and adulthood. Therefore, there is little doubt that ADHD is a valid diagnosis in adulthood for some individuals with a history of childhood ADHD. This project examines the manifestation of ADHD and associated learning difficulties in adults. Participants complete a battery of measures of ADHD, academic achievement, and neuropsychological functioning. A subset of individuals also participate in our brain imaging study. Dr. Banich describes the brain imaging component of this study and her related work on her webpage. |
