Are young females with ADHD masking the signs of their condition? Developing digital/informatic techniques to identify and uncover hidden impairme

我们的目标是；(i)识别小学适龄女孩自我调节问题的迹象，并开发和验证可与标准ADHD措施一起使用的简短问卷，以筛查有后续ADHD风险的女性。（ii）利用Qbtech技术实验研究认知负荷对教师和自我报告确定的具有自我调节问题高风险和低风险的男孩和女孩的任务表现和活动的影响。（三）对参与自我调节和认知负荷实验的儿童进行短期随访（12个月后），观察高要求情境下的表现缺陷与低要求情境下的表现缺陷是否能预测青少年早期的ADHD症状。

Our aims are; (i) To identify tell-tale signs of self-regulation problems of primary school aged girls and to develop and validate short questionnaires that can be used alongside standard ADHD measures to screen females at risk for subsequent ADHD. (ii) To use Qbtech technology to experimentally examine the effects of cognitive load on task performance and activity of boys and girls identified by teachers and self-reports, as being at high and low risk for self-regulatory problems. (iii) To conduct a short-term follow up (after 12 months) of the children participating in the self-regulation and cognitive load experiment to see whether performance deficits in the high demand as opposed to the low demand situation predicted ADHD symptoms in early adolescence.
