Cognitive impulsivity in ADHD syndromeThe aim of this study was to investigate the differences between cognitive impulsivity in ADHD children (n = 39) and control group (n = 30). The second purpose was to check if behavioral impulsivity described by parents was related to cognitive impulsivity. The Matching Familiar Figures Test was used to assess cognitive impulsivity and ADHD Rating Scale for Parents was used to describe behavior of children. Children were in the age range of 9–12 years.Compared with normal children, ADHD group made much more errors (mismatches) in MFFT. There were no significant differences in the mean time in making a response between both groups. The study showed that ADHD group were slow inaccurate performers rather than fast inaccurate performers. The ADHD children were less reflexive and less effective in their cognitive reactions than controls.There were no significant correlations between behavioral impulsivity and cognitive impulsivity in ADHD group.
