Register to hear their
informative discussion on ADHD.
According to the CDC, a national survey of parents in 2022
revealed an estimated 7 million children in the United States ages
3–17 have ever been diagnosed with ADHD. The National Institute of
Mental Health reports that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders and can
continue through adolescence and into adulthood.
ADHD is a widely pervasive neurodevelopmental condition
characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity,
contributing to difficulties in everyday activities. While ADHD has
traditionally been considered a difference in cognition,
motivational alterations have also been implicated in both
theoretical and experimental models of ADHD. In this talk, Dr.
Chiew will highlight recent research examining changes in
motivational processes in ADHD, potential downstream consequences
for cognitive performance, and implications for characterization
and management of ADHD symptoms.
