  • Title: Correlations between scores on a continuous performance test and parents' ratings of attention problems and impulsivity in children.
    Author: Thompson RW, Nichols GT.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1992 Jun; 70(3 Pt 1):739-42. PubMed ID: 1620764.
    Abstract:
    This is a study of the relationship between a continuous performance test and parents' behavioral ratings of attention problems and impulsivity in 45 boys who had been referred to a clinic for learning and behavioral problems. No significant correlations obtained between these two methods of assessment. Perhaps the lack of congruence is due to the multidimensional nature of both attention problems and impulsivity. Suggestions for clinical practice and further research are discussed.
