The hypothesis that hyperkinetic children are stimulus-governed was tested. In a sample of 39 nonmedicated hyperkinetic boys 26 were found to be stimulus-governed. In a control sample of 20 nonmedicated boys 6 were found to be stimulus-governed. An association was found between the hyperkinetic syndrome and stimulus-governance. The hypothesis is raised that response to methylphenidate is related to stimulus-governance. Several issues raised by the research are discussed.
对多动症儿童受刺激控制这一假说进行了检验。在39名未用药的多动症男孩样本中，发现有26名受刺激控制。在20名未用药男孩的对照样本中，发现有6名受刺激控制。多动症综合征与刺激控制之间存在关联。由此提出假说，即对哌甲酯的反应与刺激控制有关。讨论了该研究提出的几个问题。
