This study examined the association between WM and ADHD symptoms in young adults and whether IQ-score influenced this association.
Data from the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort Study were analyzed ( = 2,845). Working memory and ADHD symptoms were collected at 22 years. IQ was examined at age 18. Poisson regression with robust variance was used to assess the associations between working memory and ADHD symptoms. We also evaluated whether IQ modified associations between working memory and ADHD symptoms.
Working memory was negatively associated with Inattention symptoms of ADHD. The association between working memory and hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms of ADHD varied by IQ.
This study provides new insights to theories about the relationship between WM and ADHD symptoms as well as the development of interventions aimed at improving the performance of WM in ADHD.
本研究探讨了年轻成年人工作记忆（WM）与注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）症状之间的关联，以及智商分数是否会影响这种关联。
对1993年巴西佩洛塔斯出生队列研究的数据（n = 2845）进行分析。在22岁时收集工作记忆和ADHD症状数据。在18岁时检测智商。采用稳健方差的泊松回归来评估工作记忆与ADHD症状之间的关联。我们还评估了智商是否改变了工作记忆与ADHD症状之间的关联。
工作记忆与ADHD的注意力不集中症状呈负相关。工作记忆与ADHD多动冲动症状之间的关联因智商而异。
本研究为关于WM与ADHD症状之间关系的理论以及旨在改善ADHD患者WM表现的干预措施的发展提供了新的见解。
