Why isn't the neuropsychology of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) typically studied as a model to understand the anatomy of attention networks?
A)ADHD is primarily a sensory issue.
B)Because ADHD is so much more common in boys than in girls, the findings would be too heavily gender biased.
C)Both the anatomical and behavioral differences in ADHD make it a more complex phenomenon to study than neglect or Bálint's syndrome.
D)The brains of children with ADHD are still developing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADHD presents a complex phenomenon to study due to both anatomical and behavioral differences. It is not simply a matter of visual neglect or Bálint's syndrome, and may require a more nuanced approach to understanding attention networks. The other options (A, B, and D) are either irrelevant to why ADHD isn't studied as a model or incorrect (ADHD involves more than just sensory issues, girls can also have ADHD, and brain development is still ongoing in childhood disorders).
