Recent studies suggested deficits in error processing in patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but some inconsistencies are still present. Using the ADHD screening questionnaire, the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, we investigated the association between the amount of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms in a non-clinical population of healthy students (n=56) and the neural correlates of error processing measured with event-related potentials. We found reduced amplitudes of error-positivity (Pe) with increasing symptoms of inattention, but no correlation with error-related negativity. These results suggest that attention deficits reduce the conscious evaluation of an error as reflected by reduced Pe amplitudes.
近期研究表明注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)患者在错误处理方面存在缺陷,但仍存在一些不一致之处。我们使用ADHD筛查问卷——成人ADHD自陈量表,在一个非临床的健康学生群体(n = 56)中,研究了注意力不集中和多动/冲动症状的数量与通过事件相关电位测量的错误处理的神经相关性之间的关联。我们发现,随着注意力不集中症状的增加,错误正波(Pe)的振幅降低,但与错误相关负波无相关性。这些结果表明,注意力缺陷会降低如Pe振幅降低所反映的对错误的意识评估。
