Executive functioning in ADHD subtypes:primarily in WCST

This study was intended to compare two ADHD subtypes(N; inattentive type=5, combined type=12) and neurotic group(n=19) in their frontal executive functioning. WCST used as a frontal-executive task, and KEDI-WISC, ADS were administered. ADHD inattentive type demonstrated deficits in full scale IQ, performance IQ, digit span, arithmetic, digit symbol. So after controlling for IQ, total correct, total error, perseverative errors, perseverative response, conceptual level response were low score in ADHD's inattentive type than combined type and neurotic group. And ADS's ommission error and WCST are correlated significantly. These results suggested that inattention was significantly associated with executive function weakness, whereas hyperactivity-impulsivity was not independently associated with executive function performance. Limitation of these studies and further study directions were also discussed.
