对1,151名9-10岁的儿童(N=557名男孩；N名594名女孩)在GO/NOGO任务中的行为表现与照顾者和教师报告的注意力不集中和多动-冲动进行了比较。在照顾者和教师报告中，委托错误(NoGo错误)与多动-冲动症状计数显著相关，而遗漏错误(Go错误)与注意力不集中症状计数显著相关。然而，交叉关联也很明显，比如犯错误与注意力不集中症状有关，而遗漏错误与多动-冲动有关。此外，在照顾者(r=.52)和教师报告(r=.70)中，多动-冲动和注意力不集中症状高度相关，而在Go/NoGo任务中，犯错误和遗漏几乎没有相关性(r=.06)。研究结果突显了在问卷调查中区分多动症--冲动和注意力不集中--的难度，并表明在实验室测量中，如GO/NOGO任务，这些结构可能会得到更清晰的区分。
Behavioural performance in the Go/NoGo task was compared with caregiver and teacher reports of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity in 1,151 children (N = 557 boys; N 594 girls) age 9-10 years old. Errors of commission (NoGo errors) were significantly correlated with symptom counts of hyperactivity-impulsivity, while errors of omission (Go errors) were significantly correlated with symptom counts for inattention in both caregiver and teacher reports. Cross-correlations were also evident, however, such that errors of commission were related to inattention symptoms, and errors of omission were related to hyperactivity-impulsivity. Moreover, hyperactivity-impulsivity and inattention symptoms were highly intercorrelated in both caregiver (r = .52) and teacher reports (r = .70), while errors of commission and omission were virtually uncorrelated in the Go/NoGo task (r = .06). The results highlight the difficulty in disentangling hyperactivity-impulsivity and inattention in questionnaires, and suggest that these constructs may be more clearly distinguished in laboratory measures such as the Go/NoGo task.
