Document Summary
Ch. 7 learners with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder pg. * key terms are highlighted and defined at the end of notes* Definition- characterized by a pattern of behaviour, present in multiple settings (eg. school and home) that can result in performance issues in social, education or work setting. There are three subgroups of adhd: adhd predominately inattentive type, adhd predominately hyperactive type, adhd combined type. Diagnostic table is located on page 173 table 7. 1. Still"s views on adhd still coincide with some of today"s beliefs as well as those of barkley who proposed the theory of adhd being a deficit involving behavioural inhibition. Still didn"t refer to adhd as such (the name came later) but referred to individuals having defective moral control", today this would be referred to a conduct disorder. Kurt goldstein observed soldiers after world war i who had suffered major head injuries among other symptoms, goldstein noticed that patients showed disorganized behavior, hyperactivity and perseveration.
