l Predominantly Hyperactive
l Combined - 6What is Predominantly Inattentive ADHD?Where children present 6 or more of the hyperactive systems or 5 or less of the innattentive systems.
- 7What is the l Predominantly Hyperactive type of ADHD?Where children presesnt with 6 or more of the hyperactive symptoms or 5 or less of the innatentive systems.
- 8What is combined type of ADHD?Children present with 6 of the hyperactive systems and 6 of the inttentive systems.
- 9When do inattentive systems become unmasked?Inattentive systems become unmasked when kids start school and have more demands to concentrate and listen to what they are being told.
- 10When is Combined ADHD is usually found?Combined ADHD is usually found in children who just start school.
- 11In young ages children make criteria in hyper active stage, where they don't have any demands any inattentive symptoms they may have aren't usually detected.So.... when they start going to school they need to start paying attention for longer periods of time usually when inattentive systems become unmasked.
- 12AdolescenceMight have some symptoms of hyperactivity, figity or restless not running around as mucha s they used to so meet the criteria more for inattentive ADHD.

- 14What are the hereditory rates of ADHD and who is mroe likely to get ADHD boys or girls?60-80%.
Boys. - 15What is ADHD linked to in terms of hereditary and genetics?Genes that code for dopomine, DRD 4 receptor and DRD 5 receptor. Also a Gene that is involved with coding for the re-uptake of dopamine.
- 16What else is ADHD caused by apart from heredity.Linked to environmental causes during gestation which could affect brain development. E.g. smoking during pregnacy.
- 17Who far behind are children with ADHD in terms of brain development relative to children without ADHD and which part of the brain in particular is hindered in development?One third behind in their development relative to children who don't have ADHD, particularly in regions of their pre-frontal cortex.
- 18What is one of the big theories in terms of ADHD and neurological functioning?Deficits in executive functioning they find it difficult to control their behaviour.
- 19What troubles do children with ADHD have?Language, motor control, tend to go after smaller instintaneous rewards rather than rewards down the track.
- 20How do we treat ADHD ?Medically and Behaviour modification.
- 21How do we medically treat ADHD ?Stimulant based medication. E.g. Ritilin or Methylphenadate. Meication that blokes the reuptake of dopamane in the synaptic cleft, so that there is more dopamine there
- 22What happens to people who take Ritilin or Methylphenadate and don't have ADHD?More alert concentration improves and tend to stay awake a lot longer. Truck drivers tend to take it for long haul drives.
- 23What happens when children with ADHD take this medication?Helps with alertness, concentration and it also helps them reduce their impulses and reduces their hyperactive or over active behaviour.
- 24What happens when ADHD children stop taking medication?Symptoms re-emrge again.
- 25How does behaviour modification help treat ADHD?Make the environment that the chidl is in a lot more exciting and rewarding too. E.g. Homework, rather than doing all at once they can do it in smaller chunks and ger a reward after they complete each chunk of homework.
- 26Treatments must be maintains over time. As soon as the environment changes symptoms will re-emerge again.-

- 32How do we treat ODD and what does the treatment involve?Behaviour management. It involves educating the parents about what they are doing is inadvertently reinforcing th eODD beviours. Helping parents to reinforce positive behviours. Teaching the child ways that they can relax breathing excercising, muscle relaxation. Problem solving strategies.
- 33How does parent child interation therapy work?Similar to behaviour therapy using same behaviour principles, looking at parents behaviour aswell. Children with ODD tend to have trouble with regulating their own emotions, setting ODD examples too.
Teaching parent some of these strategies. - 34What is conduct disorder?Aggression toward people and animals (e.g.,
mugging, fighting, using a weapon, torturing
animals).

- 39Someone who has a history of these anti-social conduct disorders in combination with peer groups encouraging that behaviour is the biggest predictor of predicting oppositional behaviours.Because CO arises out of complex interactions the treatment is focused on thise aswell, intensive work with family and new group of peers may have to change.
