DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Consistent with NIMH Strategic Objective #3, the proposed project seeks to translate clinical neuropsychological findings regarding underlying impairments in children with ADHD into "new and better interventions that incorporate the diverse needs and circumstances" of these children (NIMH, 2008). Specifically, the goal of the core study is to develop a central executive training (CET) intervention for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and examine its feasibility, acceptability, engagement, and usability. This will involve early developmental work on software and treatment manuals followed by evaluation of the feasibility of enrolling, retaining, and treating ADHD children with CET. An evidence-informed intervention targeting central executive functioning in children with ADHD has the potential to result in clinically significant improvements in ADHD symptoms relative to extant behavioral treatments and capacity-based (short-term memory) training interventions. The long-term goal is to develop an efficacious and acceptable CET intervention with the potential for generalized improvements in, or normalization of, ADHD-related impairments in peer, family, and academic functioning.

描述(由申请人提供)：与NIMH战略目标3一致，拟议的项目试图将有关ADHD儿童潜在损害的临床神经心理学研究结果转化为“新的、更好的干预措施，纳入这些儿童的不同需求和情况”(NIMH，2008)。具体地说，这项核心研究的目标是为注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)儿童开发中央执行培训(CET)干预，并检查其可行性、可接受性、参与度和可用性。这将包括软件和治疗手册的早期开发工作，然后评估登记、保留和治疗CET的ADHD儿童的可行性。针对ADHD儿童中枢执行功能的循证干预，与现有的行为治疗和基于能力的(短期记忆)训练干预相比，有可能导致ADHD症状的临床显著改善。长期目标是开发一种有效和可接受的CET干预措施，有可能普遍改善或正常化与ADHD相关的同伴、家庭和学习功能障碍。
