Background. Inhibitory control has been described as a factor causing difficulties in the regulation present in the ADHD. Objective. The aim was to analyze the relationship between inhibitory control and symptoms of ADHD in a sample of 81 subjects diagnosed with ADHD (Mage=10.05, SD=2.53). Methods. A quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational scope research was carried out. The instruments used were the ADHD RS IV and SIMON experiment. Correlation inferential statistical regression and regression processes were applied. Results. Three regression models were tested, where inhibitory control presents a significant prediction with the (a) attention deficit F(1,79)=20.69, p=<.001, R2=.21, (b) hyperactivity and impulsivity F(1,79)=5.90, p=.01, R2=.07 and (c) the combination of both (a+b) F(1,79)=13.25, p=< .01, R2=.14. Conclusions. The findings suggest that inhibitory control is one of the main executive functions that determines the degree of affectation of the symptomatology...
Is inhibition impaired in ADHD
British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2005
In the target paper, lists concerns about measures of attention and control that are used throughout the field of clinical developmental psychology. In particular, doubts are raised about the construct validity of the measures of attention that led to conclude that sustained attention is deficient in ADHD whereas selective attention is not. We support the criticism, but argue that Wilding's suggestion that executive dysfunction is the fundamental problem underlying ADHD symptoms does not bring us much closer to understanding ADHD. We illustrate this by evaluating the more specified claim that inhibitory deficiencies are the fundamental problem underlying ADHD.

This study compares behavioral and electrophysiological (P300) responses recorded in a cued continuous performance task (CPT-AX) performed by children with attention deficit hyperactivity disordercombined subtype (ADHD-com) and age-matched healthy controls. P300 cognitive-evoked potentials and behavioral data were recorded in eight children with ADHD (without comorbidity) and nine control children aged 8-12 years while performing a CPT-AX task. Such task enables to examine several kinds of false alarms and three different kinds of P300 responses: the ''Cue P300'', the ''Go P300'' and the ''NoGo P300'', respectively, associated with preparatory processing/attentional orienting, motor/ response execution and motor/response inhibition.
Executive functioning in boys with ADHD: primarily an inhibition deficit
Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 2004
This study was aimed at: (1) testing whether boys with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) demonstrate a deficit in response inhibition and deficits in other executive functions (EF), or alternatively, demonstrate a deficit in only response inhibition; (2) investigating which role associated factors, such as IQ, age, and performance on non-EF tasks play in EF in ADHD; (3) studying the association between the three different forms of inhibition studied here.

Inhibition and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Journal of abnormal child psychology, 1997
This paper updates the author's earlier hypothesis that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) reflects underactivity in Gray's Behavioral Inhibition System. Five areas of research are reviewed: (1) studies using the stop-signal task, (2) studies of errors of commission, (3) a study of inhibition indexed by eye movements, (4) a neuroimaging study of the corpus callosum, and (5) a study on the prediction of response to methylphenidate. Data from the many different dependent variables in these studies are interpreted as supporting disinhibition as a core deficit in ADHD.
