The aim was to find empirically justified criteria for attention and activity. Patients with various disorders and controls were observed during psychiatric examinations. Measures of attention increased with age, were lower in patients than controls, were correlated with each other and related to the quality of task performance. Activity measures decreased with age, were higher in patients, were correlated among each other and concerned motility as well as talking initiatives. Criteria from other studies and the DSM-III were critically examined. Inattention was not associated with hyperactivity, except in mentally retarded children. Inattention was common in many diagnostic categories.
目的是找到基于经验的注意力和活动的合理标准。在精神病检查期间观察患有各种障碍的患者和对照组。注意力测量值随年龄增长而增加，患者低于对照组，相互关联且与任务表现质量相关。活动测量值随年龄增长而下降，患者较高，彼此相关且涉及运动能力以及交谈主动性。对其他研究和《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第三版》（DSM-III）的标准进行了严格审查。注意力不集中与多动无关，除了在智力发育迟缓儿童中。注意力不集中在许多诊断类别中都很常见。
