The Relationship

Abstract Background The current study aimed at constructing an Arabic-language questionnaire to investigate the association of the severity of ADHD with children’s degree of exposure to multimedia per day and the age of starting the engagement, and the effect of different multimedia programs on the attention, language, and socio-behavioral aspects in children presented with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The present study was conducted on 69 children who attended the Phoniatric Unit at Mansoura University Hospitals and were divided into 2 groups: 30 normal typically developing children as a control group and 39 children with ADHD as the study group. The study group was subdivided into 3 subgroups according to ADHD severity; each subgroup consisted of 13 children. Results The time at which the child started to be exposed to multimedia showed no significant differences among ADHD subgroups as all of the cases started before the age of 2 years. Kids with mild ADHD had a significant increase in watching children’s programs, cartoons, rhymes, and commercials than the other two higher grades (moderate and severe) of ADHD. Conclusion The constructed Arabic questionnaire proved to be reliable and a valid tool that examined the relationship between multimedia usage and ADHD.

Prepotent Response

The deficit in “interference control” commonly reported in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) could be due to at least two distinct processes, which are not disentangled in most studies: a larger susceptibility to activating prepotent response impulses and a deficit in suppressing them. In this study, we investigated the effect of 1/ADHD and 2/ MPH, on these two components of interference control.We compared interference control between children with ADHD without medication, children with ADHD under methylphenidate (MPH), and typically developing children performing a Simon conflict task.The main findings were that 1/ children with ADHD were more susceptible to reacting impulsively but less efficient at suppressing impulsive actions than typically developing children, and 2/ MPH improved the selective inhibition of impulsive actions but did not modify the strength of response impulse activation.
