The effect on cognitive style of imposing delay after errors
Article Abstract:
Hyperactive children give shorter latencies and make more errors than normal children under conditions where the cognitive style leads to shorter trials. In conditions where each error increases the trial length, hyperactive children wait as long as the control group before responding, but continue to make more errors. Hyperactive children withhold responses if withholding offers them the avoidance of the penalty of delay. However, they are unable to effectively use the extra time offered when compared to controls. The factors causing this aversion to delay among hyperactives are discussed.

Psychosocial adversities underestimated in hyperkinetic children
Article Abstract:
Conduct disorder and hyperkinetic disorder are usually characterized on the basis of the probable causes. It is necessary to examine differences in the assessment of psychosocial situations between different raters. Abnormal psychosocial factors have been clinically assessed, and by rates blind to clinical presentation, in hyperkinetic and conduct disordered children. Blind raters found the frequency of psychosocial adversities similar in the two disorders, while clinical raters rated adverse psychosocial situations as lower in hyperkinetic children than those with conduct disorder.

Child family factors influencing the clinical referral of children with hyperactivity: a research note
Article Abstract:
Child and family factors associated with the clinical referral of hyperactive children were examined. Hyperactive children from clinic and community samples were compared. Referral determinants such as child behavior, parenting, and family life factors were also studied. Child and parenting factors were found to be significant determinants for child guidance clinical referral of hyperactive children. Children from the two samples were found to be incomparable, therefore highlighting the need for considering referral biases in research and service planning.
