Abstract text:	Individuals with ADHD exhibit a constellation of symptoms, including impairment in inhibition, selective and sustained attention and working memory. One hypothesis is that ADHD is related to front-striatal and right hemisphere dysfunction. Indeed, if the syndrome is characterised by such dysfunction then one would expect to see differences in lateralization in those with combined inattention.hyperactivity from those within other dimensions of the ADHD continuum. In the present study, we assessed 126 primary school children in Nottinghamshire, UK who presented at the extreme ends ('good scorers' and 'poor scorers') on the continuum of behaviors as measured b the SWAN rating scale. Performance on a range of laterality measures was examined, including hand preference, hand skill and spatial attention (the line-bisection task and the star cancellation task). The findings suggest a deficit in spatial attention alongside anomalous handedness consistent with the picture of a lateralisated dysfunction of the fronto-striatal and right hemisphere circuitry in ADHD.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has. PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions. Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy. If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
