Development and functioning of attention-a key component of human cognition-can be affected by environmental factors. We investigated whether long- an...
In this study, we wanted to verify whether air pollution is associated with attention in a sample of Polish schoolchildren. We found that short-term exposure to NO2 was associated with less efficient executive attention in typically developing children and more ANT mistakes in children diagnosed with ADHD.

Childhood anxiety and depressive symptoms may be influenced by symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We investigated whether parent- and teacher-reported anxiety, depressive and ADHD symptoms at age 3 years...
The findings in this study suggest that to detect preschoolers at risk for school-age anxiety disorders or depression, clinicians should ask parents about anxiety and depressive symptoms and ask teachers about anxiety symptoms, both in children with and without co-occurrent ADHD symptoms. They should be aware that anxiety and depressive...
A systematic review of behavioral and neurobiological profiles associated with coexisting attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and developmental coordination disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) co-occur in approximately 50% of cases. This study aimed...
Conclusion: ADHD and DCD are common neurodevelopmental disorders with high rates of comorbidity. The combined ADHD+DCD diagnosis is associated with increased cognitive, behavioral, psychiatric, and neurobiological correlates compared to either disorder on its own. Thus, clinical diagnosis and treatment of ADHD and DCD should consider the...

Although front-line doctors recommend medications, this kind of treatment has limited efficacy in improving executive functions (EFs) in children and ...
Conclusion: Non-pharmacological interventions, particularly physical exercise, cognitive training, and an EF-specific curriculum, appear to have beneficial effects on EFs in children and adolescents with ADHD.
Factors Influencing Long-Term Behavioral Intervention Outcomes in Preschool Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Southeast China
Investigating the factors influencing the long-term effect of behavioral intervention for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in preschool children
Discussion: During behavioral intervention, the implementation skills of parents should be evaluated in a timely manner. The behavioral intervention effect can be predicted based on a child’s attention retention time at baseline, teacher involvement, behavioral scale score, and performance score for parents, which can guide clinicians in...
