Neuropsychological analyses of comorbidity between reading disability and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: in search of the common deficit.
Measures of component reading and language skills, executive functions, and processing speed were administered to groups of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; n = 113), reading disability (RD; n = 109), both RD and ADHD (n = 64), and neither RD nor ADHD (n = 151). Groups with RD exhibited pronounced deficits on all measures of component reading and language skills, as...

Our objective was to assess neuropsychological functioning in adults with ADHD with a battery of executive function tests. METHODS Subjects were 64 unmedicated adults, 19-59 years of age, with DSM-III-R ADHD o...
