一些理论模型表明，多动症的核心缺陷是反应抑制的缺陷。虽然多动症儿童的反应抑制神经心理学缺陷已得到充分记录，但对成人多动症人群中这些缺陷的研究却很少。 25 名成年 ADHD 患者、15 名焦虑症成年患者和 30 名正常成年人完成了三项反应抑制神经心理学测试：持续表现测试、波斯纳视觉定向测试和停止信号任务。仅在连续表现测试中，与正常成人和焦虑障碍成人相比，多动症成人表现出反应抑制表现缺陷。在其他两项神经心理学测试中没有观察到类似的差异模式。任务之间的不同结果可能是由于测试可靠性、任务参数或每次测试评估的大脑功能目标区域的差异造成的。
Several theoretical models suggest that the core deficit of ADHD is a deficiency in response inhibition. While neuropsychological deficits in response inhibition are well documented in ADHD children, research on these deficits in adult ADHD populations is minimal. Twenty-five adult ADHD patients, 15 anxiety-disordered adult patients, and 30 normal adults completed three neuropsychological tests of response inhibition: the Continuous Performance Test, Posner Visual Orienting Test, and the Stop Signal Task. ADHD adults demonstrated response inhibition performance deficits when compared to both normal adults and anxiety disordered adults only on the Continuous Performance Test. A similar pattern of differences was not observed on the other two neuropsychological tests. Differing results between tasks may be due to differences in test reliability, task parameters, or the targeted area of brain functioning assessed by each test.
