Stimulation Seeking and Hyperactivity in Children with ADHD / Inge ANTROP in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 41-2 (February 2000)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 41-2 (February 2000) . - p.225-231 Titre : Stimulation Seeking and Hyperactivity in Children with ADHD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Inge ANTROP, Auteur ; Herbert ROEYERS, Auteur ; Paulette VAN OOST, Auteur ; Ann BUYSSE, Auteur Année de publication : 2000 Article en page(s) : p.225-231 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Activity level  ADD/ADHD  behavioural measures  environmental influences  hyperactivity  stimulation seeking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Thirty hyperactive and 30 non-hyperactive children were confronted with a delay, consisting of a waiting situation of 15 minutes, either with or without extra stimulation provided by the presentation of a videotape. The behaviour of the child during the waiting period was videotaped and later coded by two naive observers. In line with theories that emphasise the stimulation-seeking function of hyperactive behaviours, such as the optimal stimulation account and the delay aversion theory, a group by stimulation effect was hypothesised. For two categories of activity this was found, with ADHD children displaying more activity than non-ADHD children in the no-stimulation but not in the stimulation condition. These data provide support for the stimulation-seeking function of certain features of ADHD hyperactivity.
