对在儿童诊断诊所接受评估的 119 名 8 至 16 岁儿童的临床和心理教育数据进行了分析。 70% 的注意力缺陷/多动障碍 (ADHD) 儿童存在学习障碍 (LD)，书面表达学习障碍的发生率是阅读、数学或拼写学习障碍的两倍 (65%)。患有LD和ADHD的儿童比患有LD但没有ADHD的儿童有更严重的学习问题，前者也比患有ADHD但没有LD的儿童有更严重的注意力问题。此外，患有 ADHD 但没有 LD 的儿童存在一定程度的学习问题，而患有 ADHD 但没有 ADHD 的儿童则存在一定程度的注意力问题。结果表明，学习和注意力问题是连续的、相互关联的，并且通常是共存的。
Clinical and psychoeducational data were analyzed for 119 children ages 8 to 16 years who were evaluated in a child diagnostic clinic. A learning disability (LD) was present in 70% of the children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with a learning disability in written expression two times more common (65%) than a learning disability in reading, math, or spelling. Children with LD and ADHD had more severe learning problems than children who had LD but no ADHD, and the former also had more severe attention problems than children who had ADHD but no LD. Further, children with ADHD but no LD had some degree of learning problem, and children with to but no ADHD had some degree of attention problem. Results suggest that learning and attention problems are on a continuum, are interrelated, and usually coexist.
