TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined data of 199 outpatients referred for clinical evaluation of adult ADHD, allocated either to an ADHD group (n'='78') or to one of two clinical comparison groups, depending on whether they show indications (n´='71) or no indications ( n´=`50) for the presence of psychiatric disorders other than ADHD.

Are language production problems apparent in adults who no longer meet diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?
TL;DR: Examination of sentence production in a sample of adults who had had attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder as children, but as adults no longer met DSM-IV diagnostic criteria showed that remitters were more likely to produce ungrammatical utterances and to make repair disfluencies compared to controls, and they patterned more similarly to ADHD participants.

Inhibition in Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Event-Related Potentials in the Stop Task
TL;DR: The core deficit in Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be a deficiency in executive functions, particularly the processes that are associated with the inhibition of predominant responses.

Susan K Stern,Mary K Morris +1 more
TL;DR: Three measures of EF were used to discriminate between college-level adults diagnosed with ADHD and reading disability and the RD group performed below ADHD on all EF tasks and logistic regression analyses demonstrated poor sensitivity and adequate specificity of the EF measures.

Single-dose effects on the P3no-go ERP component predict clinical response to stimulants in pediatric ADHD.
TL;DR: Clinical response to stimulants can be predicted by assessing single-dose changes in the P3no-go ERP component amplitude, which may be a clinically useful marker of response to Stimulant medication.

Establishment of Diagnostic Validity in Psychiatric Illness: Its Application to Schizophrenia
Eli Robins,Samuel B. Guze +1 more
TL;DR: It was shown by follow-up and family studies that poor prognosis cases can be validly separated clinically from good prediction cases, and the authors conclude that good prognosis "schizophrenia" is not mild schizophrenia, but a different illness.

Externalizing behavior problems and academic underachievement in childhood and adolescence: causal relationships and underlying mechanisms.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed concepts and measurement issues surrounding externalizing behavior problems and academic underachievement, the strength and specificity of the covariation between these domains, and the viability of explanatory models that link these areas.
