dividida en grupos seguindo os criterios do DSM-IV-R: combinado, con predominio de déficit de atención e con predominio de hiperactividade-impulsividade. Fóronlles administradas varias tarefas de atención sostida e inhibición de respostas: o paradigma do Sinal de Stop e dúas versións do Test de Execución Continua (a versión A-X e a versión de inhibición). Os resultados apoian a hipótese plantexada a partir do modelo de Barkley (1997) sobre TDAH. Os nenos dos subtipos combinado e hiperactivo-impulsivo tiveron máis dificultades para manter a atención e inhibir respostas do que os nenos do grupo con predominio de déficit de atención.
A sample of children diagnosed as Attention Deficit Disorder was divided in groups according to de DSM-IV-R criteria: combined, predominantly inattentive and predominantly hyperactive-impulsive. Several tasks of sustained attention and inhibition responses were administered: the Stop-Signal paradigm and two versions of the Continuous Performance Test (A-X and inhibition versions). The results supports the hypotheses derived from Barkley´s model (1997) for the ADHD. The children from the combined and hyperactive-impulsive groups showed more difficulties in sustaining attention and inhibiting responses than the group with predominance of attention deficit.
