ADHD is a debilitating problem that affects 5% of children and approximately half as many adults. ADHD causes substantial problems at school and if untreated, predisposes the individual to increased drug and alcohol use, marital breakdown, criminal prosecution and psychiatric problems in later life. One problem is that we do not fully understand what are the causes of the disorder. This project will test the validity of several models of brain dysfunction in ADHD which have been influential in the literature, but poorly tested. Through better understanding of the basic underlying problems, more effective intervention can be developed.

ADHD是一种使人衰弱的问题，影响5%的儿童和大约一半的成年人。ADHD会在学校造成严重的问题，如果不治疗，会使个人在以后的生活中增加药物和酒精的使用，婚姻破裂，刑事起诉和精神问题。一个问题是，我们并不完全了解这种疾病的原因。该项目将测试ADHD脑功能障碍的几种模型的有效性，这些模型在文献中很有影响力，但测试效果很差。通过更好地了解基本的根本问题，可以制定更有效的干预措施。
