Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children with ADHD often struggle with executive functions, including working memory, inhibitory control, and attention regulation, distinguishing them from normally overactive children who can exert voluntary control over their behaviors. Ethnic disparities in diagnosis rates have been observed, with Black and Hispanic children more likely to be diagnosed than Euro-American children, contradicting choice C. Choices A and D are incorrect because children with ADHD do exhibit problems with working memory, and there are qualitative differences between highly active normal children and those with ADHD, respectively.
