Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given view suggests that deficient executive processing underlies ADHD symptoms, meaning that individuals with ADHD have difficulty with controlling their impulses, maintaining focus, and organizing their thoughts and actions, which can manifest as symptoms such as hyperactivity and inattention. The other options are incorrect as not all children with ADHD exhibit hyperactivity (some may have primarily inattentive symptoms), environmental factors are not always the cause of ADHD (there is also a genetic component), and boys are actually diagnosed with ADHD more frequently than girls.
